How does Pyrocalm Control help my reflux and heartburn?

Omeprazole has been in clinical use since 1979 and it was first made by Astra AB (Now AstraZeneca). The safety and effectiveness of Omeprazole for treating heartburn and reflux disease has well been established. 

Omeprazole 20mg tablet (pack of 7) can be purchased from most pharmacies, supermarkets and health food shops in the UK in . Although it has been made accessible to purchase, it is still a medicine and there are risks associated. It is important that you follow the instructions on the patient information leaflet and seek advice from your pharmacist and doctor when necessary. 

Generic and branded make of a medicine are the same and both makes have to meet the same quality and safety standards before they are allowed to be sold as a medicine. 

All generic medicines that are available in the UK/EU through authorised pharmacies, like My Private Pharmacist, are licensed and genuine medications so they are safe to use as intended.  

What is the difference between and generic makes of a medicine?

A branded make of medicine initially becomes available for sale by the innovating manufacturer that has discovered the medicine through a very expensive process. As a result, this manufacturer receives the right (patent) from the government to become the only company that is allowed to make and sell such medicine for many years so they can recuperate some of their expenses and make some profit from their work.

After the patent period is over, other manufacturers will be allowed to manufacture this branded medicine, but they will only be allowed to offer the medicine under the medicines actual name (known as the Generic name) or through their own new brand for marketing purposes. As this process is not as expensive as the initial medicine discovery, generic manufactures can offer the medicine at a much cheaper price compared to the innovator’s branded one. 

Why is the generic make cheaper than the brand?

The recommended dose is 20 mg once daily for up to 14 days.

It might be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement of symptoms.

The majority of patients achieve complete relief of heartburn within 7 days. Once complete relief of symptoms has occurred, treatment should be discontinued.
