Suggest Alternative Treatment For Acid Reflux
I have acid reflux. Dr has prescribed me Nexium, Prilosec, and Protonix. I understand they could have serious side effects. I dont plan to take them anymore because of dangers mentioned on news tonight. What can I take that may be safer? I am also on an acid reflux diet and sleep with my head elevated. Thanks

Hi,
So for reports in news is concerned it is based at a toxic dosage and are rare at a therapeutic dosage which doctors prescribe and are absolutely safe.
Take medicines as the doctor prescribed for the said period. Rest you can take preventive measures like avoid smoking, coffee, citrus foods and take good sleep. So nothing to be serious about news.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
