Is Milk Thistle Effective In The Treatment Of Acid Reflux?

Hi, thank you, I am trying out milk thistle for reflux and high cholesterol. I also have had to take lots of medication in my life and heard it is good for the liver. I have a bottle of milk thistle that recommends 30 drops 3 times a day. Does this need to be refrigerated? Thank you again, Guthrie Morgan
