McKesson (Geri-Care) Antacid 20.6 mg Delayed-Release Capsules — Effective Relief for Frequent Heartburn & Acid Reflux
When persistent heartburn, acid indigestion, or sour stomach keeps you from feeling your best, reach for McKesson (Geri-Care) Antacid 20.6 mg Delayed-Release Capsules. This proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces, giving you longer-lasting relief — especially when heartburn occurs two or more days a week.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Long-lasting acid suppression — Unlike quick-fix antacids, these capsules reduce acid production at the source, helping prevent acid overproduction and offering more sustained comfort.
- Convenient dosage & course — Just one capsule daily (every 24 hours), typically used for 14 days — sufficient to manage frequent heartburn according to recommended use.
- Delayed-release formulation — Designed to release medicine in the small intestine (not stomach), helping maximize effectiveness and reduce interference from stomach acid.
- Trusted and widely used — A reliable choice for adults (18 years and older) dealing with frequent or recurring heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), or acid-related indigestion.
- Budget- and institution-friendly packaging — Available in bottles of 42 capsules (enough for three 14-day courses), making it easy to stock for home use, workplaces, or care facilities.
What It Helps With
- These capsules are ideal for those who suffer from:
- Recurrent heartburn, especially 2 or more days per week
- Frequent acid indigestion, sour stomach, or acid reflux (GERD)
- Discomfort after meals, or nighttime acid reflux that disturbs sleep
- Need for longer-lasting relief, beyond what chewable antacids or quick-fix remedies offer
How to Use
- Dosage: Take 1 capsule once a day, ideally before a meal (or as directed).
- Course duration: A typical 14-day treatment course; repeat only under medical or pharmacist guidance if symptoms persist.
- Important note: This product is designed for frequent heartburn, not occasional or infrequent acid discomfort.
