A member asked:
Hiatal hernia, i developed a tolerance to protonix and was switched to nexium, what happens if i develop a tolerance to all available ppi variants ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gerd: If you can't tolerate ppi's alternative choices are the class of medications which include zantac or pepcid. These are also used to treat gerd. This class of medications are called h2 blockers and are not ppi's. You can also use gaviscon or carafate.
