Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms — Page 6

What type of gastroesophageal reflux disease medication should you take?

Your doctor may recommend that you take either over-the-counter or prescription antacids, H2-blockers, or PPIs.

If medication doesn’t work, your doctor may suggest surgery  called Nissen fundoplication. The surgeon will wrap a portion of your stomach around your esophagus to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter.

With proper treatment, however, you can control gastroesophageal reflux disease without surgery.
