You are in: Health24 > Medical > Condition centres > Heartburn > FAQ

Is there any medication that makes the symptoms of GORD worse?

Last updated: Tuesday, October 19, 2004

Any medicine that delays the process of stomach acids being emptied or that increases the levels of acids in the stomach. Other drugs that can cause heartburn when taken on an empty stomach are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin. Before taking any of these, it is best to consult your doctor first.
