Acid Reflux Prescription

Acid reflux—also known as heartburn or gastro-oesophageal reflux—is caused when stomach acid flows back into your oesophagus, leading to a burning sensation in your chest, regurgitation of sour fluid, and sometimes a chronic cough or sore throat. While occasional heartburn can often be managed with lifestyle adjustments and over-the-counter antacids or H2 blockers, persistent or severe acid reflux may require prescription-strength proton pump inhibitors or other targeted therapies to heal inflammation and prevent complications.

What is the cause of acid reflux and who is more likely to experience it?
