Suggest An Effective Alternative For Prevacid
Taking Prevacid for several years due to scar tissue which grows in my traecia and must be removed periodically. Am a heart patient also. All of a sudden am having heartburn very frequently. The Prevacid is not working anymore. Suggestion on what to try instead of Prevacid? Don’t take Nexium because of heart medicine. Also am feeling nausea lately.

Hello,
I think should add antacids to your current treatment to reduce heartburn.
Plus need further consultation with a gastroenterologist and run again upper endoscopy to evaluate the changes, and decide to change therapy.
Discuss this further with your caring doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
