What is Pyrocalm Control?

Pyrocalm Control contains omeprazole 20mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It reduces stomach acid and is used in adults for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. It is not for immediate relief, and may take 2–3 days to work.

What is Pyrocalm Control used for?

  • Frequent heartburn (two or more times a week)
  • Acid reflux and regurgitation

It should be taken once daily for up to 14 days. If symptoms persist or return, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.

How does Pyrocalm Control work?

  • Blocks stomach acid pumps: Targets proton pumps in the stomach lining.
  • Reduces acid levels: Helps relieve reflux and allows healing of irritation.

Who is Pyrocalm Control suitable for?

For adults aged 18 years and over with frequent reflux symptoms.

Do not take if you:

  • Are allergic to omeprazole or other PPIs
  • Are taking nelfinavir (for HIV)

Speak to a doctor before use if you:

  • Have weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent pain, vomiting blood or black stools
  • Have liver problems or are over 55 with new or changed symptoms
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
