Acid Reflux Disease Treatment Options
Sometimes, it's nice to know how the medication you are taking is working in your body to help you get relief from acid reflux disease. Many medications are used for similar conditions, but often work differently.
Keep in mind the term OTC (over the counter) means products you can buy without a prescription. Rx refers to products prescribed by a doctor. As your results may vary, please discuss treatment options with your doctor.  |
| Antacids | OTC | Neutralize acid in the stomach | Provide acute relief of symptoms, although limited for some people. |
H2 Blockers
(e.g., ranitidine) | Both OTC and Rx | Reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach | For erosive esophagitis, prescription H2 Blockers reduce symptoms and promote esophageal healing. Do not limit acid production as much as PPIs. |
| PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors)(e.g., Prevacid) | Both OTC and Rx | Turn off acid-producing pumps in the stomach | For erosive esophagitis, prescription PPIs provide symptom relief and promote esophageal healing. |
