My father is on pentazol for gerd.he eats wisely and walks still gerd troubles.any other medicine which he can change to which can control gerd better?

Pentazol: is known as. a PPI. These are generally good medicines for Gerd. It may be that he needs to switch to a different PPI, or perhaps he needs a higher dose of the one he is on. I would have him contact his gastroenterologist for guidance as to what to do next. Good luck.
