Detailed Answer:
Hi Welcome back

Sorry for the delay due to my work schedule.

You can take Tab PANTOPRAZOLE 40mg Once daily before breakfast or Tab RANITIDINE 150mg Twice daily before food for 7 days .

Also menta tea and milk product may help as well. Methylphenidate may affect diet but not significantly.
