Some 20-40 percent of the population suffer from heartburn on a weekly basis, which is most frequently caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In such cases digestive acid flows back into the esophagus, which not only causes uncomfortable heartburn, but can also lead to serious complications (e.g. esophagitis, inflammations of the upper or lower respiratory tract). Another common condition that can be attributed to digestive acid is known as functional dyspepsia. This could affect up to 50% of the adult population. Sufferers include patients who frequently complain of stomach aches, and who suffer digestive complaints that are severely debilitating, but for which no organic cause or anomaly can be diagnosed. Many cases of both GERD and functional dyspepsia can be successfully treated with medication. Richter’s range of gastroenterological products includes what are currently regarded as the most advanced acid-inhibitors available. Besides the above indications, these medicines are also suitable for the prevention and treatment of damage to the stomach lining arising from the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers. In the course of our development work we have managed to produce one of our ulcer treatments in a crystal form so pure and stable that it has been granted a worldwide patent. Our gastroenterological products also include a combined anticonvulsive product, as well as non-prescription enzyme-extract and vitamin supplements.
