A member asked:
Are there any other medications normally prescribed with ppis for gerd? can you just take the ppi only?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: H-2 BLOCKERS EG: PEPCID AC (OTC) and CARAFATE (sucralfate)....ask your Pharmacist for examples! Hope these two suggestions help! BTW MANY people find they need no more than PPI's!
