Hi,
Yes, there are medications for GERD so if these are not working for you then your doctor can prescribe an alternative. Some of the other options are Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid etc.
Lifestyle changes such as avoiding aggravating foods, waiting 2 hours after eating before laying down, weight loss and elevating the head of the bed- may also be helpful as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
