Reflux & acidity

Medicines for reflux and acidity belong to several classes addressing different processes. Acidity is a property of gastric contents, whereas reflux describes their movement back towards the oesophagus. This distinction explains terms such as antacid, alginate and proton pump inhibitor. The professional category brings together references in this digestive field, with particular attention to composition, formulation and the difference between a local effect on stomach contents and a reduction in the secretion of gastric acid.
