Stomach & Digestion

Digestive complaints are among the most common reasons people visit a pharmacy – and among the most treatable. Heartburn after meals, constipation that makes you sluggish, the gripes of IBS, trapped wind that borders on painful: all of them have effective over-the-counter answers.

This range brings those answers together: antacids and acid reducers, a full spectrum of laxatives, antispasmodics for IBS and remedies for bloating and wind. Diet and lifestyle sit behind many digestive problems, so small changes often multiply what the medicines achieve. Symptoms that are new, persistent or accompanied by weight loss, difficulty swallowing or bleeding always warrant a doctor’s opinion first.
