GERD: We do not give prescription on this forum or discuss insurance plans. Would call your provider in AM and note you still have reflux. Smoking , alcohol, motrin like products , spicy foods caffeine and chocholate can all exacerbate reflux so avoid those. Can use medication like ranitidine , carafate in conjunction with Altosec
