Acid Reflux In The Night. Tried Acid Reducing Tablet. Loss Of Elasticity In LES. Cure?
Hi I suffer from alot of acid reflux at nighttime . I have tried acid reducing tablet and they don t work. L had a check up couple of months ago and the consultant thinks that the LES has lost its elasticity to stop the acid from flowing backwards. Other than surgery to improve on this condition is there any other medication that can help my symptoms/condition.

Hi thanks for your question.
You have loose lower esophageal sphinter,resulting in reflux esophagitis.Though surgery is the best way to get rid of symptoms,there are medicine which can reduce the symptoms.
Proton pump inhibitors like pantoprozole and prokinetics like metachlopromide,Domperidone,Cisapride,Itopride,Mesapride,Renzapride,can give you symptomatic relief.
Hope this answers your question.
