About Pyrocalm
Pyrocalm Control is a significant innovation in UK pharmacy - the first branded omeprazole 20mg available over the counter without prescription. Manufactured by Dexcel Pharma Ltd in Daventry, Northamptonshire, it provides up to 24 hours of relief from heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. The active ingredient omeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class of medicines. It works by suppressing the activity of proton pumps - the proteins that produce stomach acid - thereby reducing acid levels and relieving heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion discomfort. Unlike antacids which provide immediate but short-term relief, Pyrocalm Control may take 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement, but most patients experience complete relief of heartburn within 7 days. The recommended dose is one 20mg tablet daily for up to 14 days, taken in the morning with water - swallowed whole, not chewed or crushed. Pyrocalm Control is suitable for adults experiencing short-term acid reflux symptoms. It's available at UK pharmacies, Superdrug, Savers, and supermarkets in convenient 7 or 14 tablet packs. Note that it contains lactose from milk, so may not be suitable for vegans.
