Posted on Fri, 20 Jan 2023
Question: hello, I am suffering from acidity and acid reflux from 1 month. I have been advised to take levosulpride osemoprozole for 15 days. in that 15 days everything is ok but after 2-3 days same problem appears to recurr. I guess my stomach is producing more acid than usual. i also eat majorly home food only but don't know the cause of this acidity. want to know any permanent cure for this since I don't want to rely on medicines on daily basis. fyi...I have a allergy to pantaprozole.
