Digestive Health - Heartburn
Everyone has suffered at one time or another with heartburn (also known as acid indigestion) which is a painful, burning feeling in the middle of your chest or the upper part of your stomach. The pain can be momentary or stick with you for hours. Lifestyle changes can help reduce heartburn, but there are over-the-counter medications that can help treat heartburn on a short-term basis.

There are 3 different classes of medications - Antacids, H2 Blockers such as Zantac, or Proton-Pump Inhibitors such as Nexium or Omeprazole. Each drug class works differently, as well as how fast they start working, and how long the effects last. Call (585) 396-9970 or stop into Canandaigua The Medicine Shoppe  (66 West Ave) to talk to our knowledgeable staff and start getting relief today.
