A member asked:

Taking multiple medications for heart burn. will this compound the problem or help it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart burn: These medications aim at neutralizing or decreasing stomach acid production in general. They can help inflammation and ulcers heal if that is the cause of the symptom. You should consult a physician for diagnosis to be reasonably sure of what is being treated.
