A member asked:
What's the best antacid to take that had less side affects i was on lansoprazole but it made me ill
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many: You can choose a similar ppi like prilosec(omeprazole) and that should work well. If you want something less costly, try using zantac (ranitidine) or Pepcid but you may have to take it twice daily as the effect only lasts about 12 hours.
