Suggest Treatment For Heartburn And Acidity

Sir,

I am the patient of hyper acidity from last 15 years. My age is 44 years (male)Hight 5.4" weight 60 kg. Initially I was taking tablet zintec 150 on regular basis but from last 2 years I am taking tablet Raciper 20 daily one tablet. If I miss to take tablet one day ,immediately I face problem of burning in chest and pain in stomach.

My question is ,Is there any side effect by consuming this tablet on daily basis?

Also please suggest the permanent solution or treatment for acidity .

My father age 73 years is also having the same hyper acididy from last 40 years.

Hello!

Long time treatment with Anti-Acid drug causes persistent hypo-acidity which is a cause of gastric carcinoma! So I would not suggest anti acid drugs for regular basis for years, Better you consult to your doctor, as there are lots of other reasons behind Hyper-acidity.

HI
Well come to HCM
In my opinion the best regime to treat the hyperacidity is Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day at evening time for six weeks and Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day at evening time for six weeks, I get good results in my all patient ever comes with such symptoms, take care.
