Brief Answer:
ER pills will not cause such a sensation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi .

I understand your concern.

Pills given in the ER will not cause such a struck sensation in the throat.

Its extremely important that you get evaluated through endoscopy to know the cause of your struck sensation.

This could be mechanical cause like esophageal web or a functional cause like achalasia.

For this you need to consult an expert Gastroenterologist.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Add Cap Nexpro fast.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

For better acid suppression and relief of symptoms ,I advise you to take Cap Nexprofast 40 mg on empty stomach at 7 am.

This should be followed by Tab Famotidine 40 mg before dinner.


This combination will cause excellent relief of symptoms.

Consult your doctor with regard to this.

Thank you.
