Suggest Remedy For Acidity Problem Instead Of Ocid
Dear Doctor, My wife has been prescribed Ocid 20 by her Med Spl. and has been having relief in her acidity problems. She had also been prescribed amlotec .5 mg for control of her BP. Last time she had swelling in her leg/feet & the doc stopped Amlotec & changed it with Ramstar. Should she take Pantocid in place of Ocid 20. Kindly advise.

Hello
As you mentioned that she is taking ocid , but instead she want pantoprazole , yes she can it even for long time .
In my opinion these measures may help .
Try raising the head of your wife bed about 4 inches with blocks. It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before she liw down.
To control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods .
When such patient I adviser them to take rebmipide 100 mg 2 -2 for 3-6 months and complete relief.
Other reason of hyper acidity are tension , anxiety and over eating .
In my opinion if there are such reasons , please get rid of these .
Eat at a time very less is also helpful.
Morning and evening walking 1/2 hours also provide relief and help in digestion.
Good luck.
