Medication

Medication alleviates the symptoms but it does not restore the natural anatomy and generally does not stop the disease progression. Overtime, the dosage usually needs to be increased and it means taking medications for the rest of your life.

Non prescription Antacids are designed to neutralize the stomach acid. Short acting and used for infrequent or occasional heartburn.

H2 receptor blockers are designed to treat your acid production by blocking histamine.

A very successful option to medications is the new incisionless surgery, EsophyX. Studies show that after surgery 93% of patients remained free from heartburn pain and 79% were still off of daily reflux medications two years later.
