Capsules to soothe the symptoms of acid reflux.
Ventra is an oral capsule you take to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). It reduces the amount of acid produced by your stomach, so it’s less likely to pass into your gullet. This is what causes the pain and inflammation associated with GORD.
Speak with our clinicians in one of our online consultations, and we’ll show you GORD treatment recommendations tailored to you. Order Ventra online with us, and we’ll deliver it directly to your door.
Ventra is a branded treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). This is where stomach acid escapes from the stomach into your oesophagus, causing pain, inflammation, and discomfort.
The most common cause of GORD is the ring of muscle at the base of your oesophagus weakening. Usually, it closes to stop stomach acid leaking back up into your oesophagus. But if you have GORD, acid is able to make it into the gullet and cause symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
Esomeprazole, the active ingredient in Ventra, is a type of proton-pump inhibitor. They target proton pump molecules on the surface of gastric parietal cells inside the stomach. These cells are responsible for secreting stomach acid, and esomeprazole inhibits them, resulting in less acid in your stomach.
By reducing the amount of acid in your stomach, Ventra should relieve and prevent symptoms of GORD.
Ventra comes in two dosages: one contains 20 mg esomeprazole per capsule, and the other contains 40 mg. The dose you take will depend on how severe your symptoms are, and how much Ventra helps to control them.
If you don’t feel like your current dose is working well enough, speak to your clinician; they may increase your dose. On the other hand, your clinician might recommend lowering your dose of Ventra after a month or two of taking the higher one, to see if your symptoms stay controlled.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
You can take your Ventra capsules whenever it suits you, either with food or on an empty stomach. Just swallow the capsules whole, with water, around your chosen time each day.
If you have difficulty swallowing, you can dissolve the contents of your capsules in a glass of still water. Carefully open the capsule, empty it into a glass of water, and stir thoroughly. Drink the mixture within 30 minutes, always making sure it’s mixed well before drinking. When you’ve finished, fill the glass half full with water and rinse it thoroughly, before drinking this as well. This ensures you’ve taken all of the medicine.
Ventra gets to work as soon as you take it, and you should feel the benefit within two or three days of starting treatment. However, it can take up to four weeks for your treatment to work fully.
You should only ever take Ventra as you’re instructed to by your clinician. If you forget to take your dose of Ventra, it’s not a problem. Just take it as soon as you remember. Or, if it’s almost time for your next dose, just skip the one you missed. Never take a double dose to make up for missing a dose.
If you take more Ventra than you should, get in touch with your clinician immediately. You may need treatment for any symptoms you experience.
