A member asked:

What can i do if i have acid reflux and my meds aren't working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acid reflux: Make sure that you are not just relying on the medication to control your symptoms. Patients often forget that treatment of ger depends a lot on liifestyle changes which I am certain your doctor has already discussed with you. Having said that, there are still many medications available. Ask your doctor.
