Depends: It sounds like the symptoms or condition for which you are taking the drug may not have resolved. This is best followed by your prescribing doctor. The proton pump inhibitor drugs such as this can be used to treat esophageal reflux and peptic ulcer disease. Please see your doctor for follow up - there may be other options available to treat your condition.
