Buy Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control Capsules

Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control Capsules are a reliable treatment for indigestion and acid reflux symptoms.

Just one capsule a day is all you’ll need to ease symptoms like heartburn, a sore throat, and that sour taste in your mouth caused by reflux.

If you’re looking for quick and straightforward reflux relief that lasts all day, Perrigo heartburn and acid reflux control capsules could be the perfect treatment.

How Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control Capsules work

The active ingredient, esomeprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

These medications relieve heartburn and acid reflux by reducing the amount of stomach acid you produce, reducing the chances of it travelling into your food pipe. This gives your food pipe time to heal from previous irritation while reducing symptoms like heartburn, burping, and a sour taste in your mouth.
