Of the more than 50 million American adults suffering from frequent heartburn,1 many have come to find out
that there's a real-life bogeyman. It's called heartburn at night. While frequent heartburn can occur
anytime, during the day or night, heartburn often occurs in the evening or at night because acid is more
likely to rise up when you lie down, especially within 2 to 3 hours of eating a large meal. Whether it's the
meal itself or lying down too soon, the other problem is that it may affect your sleep. And this
can start a cycle of events you would want to prevent.
How to stop the cycle!
Discover the foods that trigger your heartburn. Avoid them when you can.
And try to maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. These are
the first steps towards more heartburn-free experiences. When you need
treatment for your frequent heartburn, Prevacid®24HR works
for 24 hours, with one pill a day. When used as directed.
