English to Italian: Antacids
General field: Medical
Detailed field: Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Source text - English
Antacids are a type of medication that are available over the counter from pharmacies and are used to treat the symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion.
Heartburn

Heartburn is burning chest pain or discomfort that occurs when stomach acid leaks out of the stomach and into the oesophagus (gullet). The acid irritates the surface of the oesophagus which causes the burning sensation in the chest. The medical term for this is gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
How antacids work

Antacids can work in two ways. They can:
coat the surface of the oesophagus with a protective barrier against stomach acid
produce a gel on the stomach’s surface which helps stop acid leaking up into the oesophagus, preventing the symptoms of heartburn
Antacids work by neutralising any acid that is in your stomach, reducing heartburn symptoms and relieving pain.
Antacids can also be combined with other medicines to help relieve the symptoms of heartburn. A number of different antacid medicines are available which all have different brand names.



There is evidence to show that antacids are effective in providing short-term relief for heartburn.
However, long-term use is not recommended because there are more effective prescription medications that can be used to treat recurring heartburn, such as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces.
There is a lack of evidence showing that the long-term use of antacids is effective in relieving pain that is associated with heartburn.
Lifestyle changes, such as changes to your diet, can help to reduce the symptoms of heartburn.
Translation - Italian
Gli antiacidi fanno parte di una categoria di farmaci disponibili senza prescrizione medica, utilizzati per il trattamento dei sintomi legati al mal di stomaco e alll'acidità di stomaco.

Acidità di stomaco
Il bruciore gastrico è una sensazione di bruciore avvertita in corrispondenza del petto che si presenta quando il contenuto acido gastrico viene a contatto con l'esofago e l'esterno dello stomaco. L'acido crea un'irritazione sulla superficie dell'esofago stesso causando la sensazione di bruciore. Il termine medico per la sindrome da reflusso gastro-esofageo è GORD.

Come agiscono gli antiacidi
Esistono due tipologie di antiacidi. Alcuni agiscono ricoprendo la superficie dello stomaco con un gel (coating) che aiuta a neutralizzare il reflusso, prevenendo il contatto con l'esterno dello stomaco.
Questi composti agiscono neutralizzando il contenuto acido presente nel succo gastrico, causa dei sintomi citati ed alleviando il fastidio epigastrico.
Possono anche essere utilizzati in combinazione con altri farmaci per ottenere lo stesso scopo terapeutico. Sono disponibili sul mercato diversi principi attivi con diversi nomi commerciali.

Esistono evidenze che dimostrano l'efficacia degli antiacidi nel trattamento a breve termine dei sintomi da iperacidità.
Ad ogni modo, si sconsiglia il loro utilizzo cronico dal momento in cui sono disponibili farmaci prescrivibili, come gli Inibitori di Pompa Protonica (PPI), utilizzabili per l'iperacidità di stomaco. La loro azione è quella di ridurre la quantità di acido prodotta dai villi gastrici. Non esistono dati sufficienti che dimostrano una efficacia terapeutica nel loro uso a lungo termine.

Cambiamenti nello stile di vita, quali in primis una dieta sana, possono ridurre la sintomatologia.

Bio
My name is Andrea Valente, Maurizio Valente's son.
His sudden departure made me decide to carry our excellent business in translation. I've been collaborating in different projects with him for years, particularly in the medical and pharmaceutical fields since I've been a qualified and practicing Pharmacist in UK. I know that his knowledge heritage is huge and I'll use it as source of inspiration for my next commitment.
