Hi thanks for your question.
All most all drugs cause gastric upset when taken on empty stomach. Highest incidence is by pain killer. Dots also cause gastric upset but not in all individuals>some individuals are more prone to this side effects. This effect of Dot will remain as long as therapy is not completed. Once the course of Dot is completed side effect will disappear of itself. He can continue with PPI and additionally he can use antacids.
