A member asked:

How long should i stay on pantoprazole 40. mg to cure my acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a cure: The medication just manages the problem and does not cure acid reflux life style changes (quit smoking, cut out alcohol and caffeine, do not overeat, do not lay down within 2 hours of laying down, loose weight .....) can decrease acid reflux.
