What Is Heartburn?
Heartburn is a painful, burning sensation in the
lower chest or throat that occurs when stomach
acid backs up (or “re;uxes”) into and irritates the
sensitive lining of the esophagus.
Who Gets Heartburn?
60 million American adults are affected by heartburn, with an estimated 50 million adults suffering
from frequent heartburn (de;ned as heartburn
that occurs two or more days per week).

Consuming citrus fruits, fatty or spicy foods, chocolate,
peppermint, tomatoes, raw onions and garlic, and
caffeinated, carbonated or alcoholic beverages can
contribute to heartburn. Eating large portions and
eating before bedtime, and lying down or bending
over on a full stomach, can also increase the likelihood of experiencing heartburn.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
PPIs, the newest class of heartburn medications,
actually deactivate the pumps in the stomach lining
from producing acid, signi;cantly inhibiting acid
production (and its overproduction) at the source.
PPIs are available by prescription to treat ulcers,
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and
erosive esophagitis.
One daily pill treats frequent heartburn for up to
24 hours when taken as part of a 14-day course of
treatment — or as directed by your doctor.*
