GER medications: Commonly used OTC reflux medications include Zantac, Prevacid, Prilosec and Nexium (esomeprazole). At one time, these were all available by prescription only and should be effective for uncomplicated occassional heartburn. Some people find one more effective than the others, but this seems to be somewhat individualized.
