Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I would like to mentioned or say you that the dose of the PPI (Pentaprazole ) is not correct, let me inform you that the correct dose of this is 20 mg once in day and in sever condition it can be increased to 40 mg and it is being added with Domperidone 10 mg both the molecules has to be taken at evening time once in day till 6 weeks, alcohol is not at all advisable if you are taking PPI, hope this information helps.
