Discuss w your doc : Your prescribing doc should be able to,offer you other treatment options: Antacids, H2 blockers (ranitidine) (famotadine) gastric acid inhibitors (Omeprazole), dietary change, elevating head of bed, surgical options are all available. If you choose to continue the meds which give you unwanted side effects, they will,continue.
