General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to use a medication from the proton pump family of medications.

These work to stop acid from being made so they are very effective in helping with indigestion and heartburn.
They can take 5 to 7 days to have an effect because the body has to get rid of the acid already present.

Eg prevacid, protonix, aciphex, nexium

I hope this helps
