Guardium Acid Reflux Control Tablets Pack of 7

Guardium Acid Reflux Control Tablets contain the active substance esomeprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called ‘proton pump inhibitors’. They work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces.

This medicine is used in adults for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn and acid regurgitation).

Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet (“foodpipe”) which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause you symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).

This medicine is not meant to bring immediate relief. You may need to take the tablets for 2-3 days in a row before you feel better. You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 14 days.

For oral use only.

Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.

Adults aged 18 and over: Take one tablet once a day. It may take 2 - 3 days for the tablets to have full effect.
