UK Pharmacies Recommending Short-Term Treatments Over PPIs For Frequent Heartburn – Haleon Survey
Executive Summary
Haleon data shows a notable increase in UK pharmacy teams recommending PPIs for frequent heartburn in the year ended September 2022. However, pharmacies are still recommending alginate-based OTCs and antacids over PPIs for frequent heartburn in the majority of occasions, which Haleon says points to a need for more pharmacy education.
