Taking Pantacid For Heartburn, Stomach Irritation. Diagnosed Lax Les Oesophagitis. Prescribed Tilpride, Prepro. Should I Continue Medication?

I have heartburn and irritation in stomach and i took almost a year Pantacid DSR prescribed by a doctor. Now If I am not taking even a day pantacid, I am getting more heartburn and irritation in stomach. I checked another doctor and he diagnosed this as lax les oesophagitis ( examined and conducted Endoscopy).
and he prescribed "TILPRIDE" and "PREPRO" tablets for 3 months.
Can I continue this medication?

Hi and thanks for the query,

I think its a great idea for you to continue to medications as prescribed by your physician. Results at times might need to take some time. It is also at the discretion of the physician in agreement with you, depending on the clinical evolution and control results of the fibroscopy to modify treatment or not. I suggest you continue the medication. Feel free consulting your physician in case you start experiencing any serious effects or new symptoms or unusual experiences set in. Thanks and kind regards,

You can continue this treatment because it is prescribed after endoscopic examination.
This will be helpful to your stomach for digestion and improve the motility.

Make your diet pattern regular or take small frequent meals.
