Which Acid Reflux Med Works?

So what's the best heratburn medicine?

Well my mom takes protonix. I don't really like it, it helped me, but not 100% help, like I still had heartburn.

Zantac- Ugh, don't get me started on this one, I can't stand it, it doesn't take away the heartburn! I mean I guess it helps some but I still get heartburn with it, not my fave.

Pepcid AC- Don't know, not sure I never took it.

Prilosec- Now this is the one I love. It completly takes away my heartburn, no heartburn later no matter what I eat. My mom however can't take this one it doesn't help her as well as the protonix.

Conclusion?

I guess it depends on the amount of acid reflux you have, your body, body chemistry, etc on which medicine works best for you.

Rachel's weekly review Acid Reflux

Some of us have acid reflux. Where acid comes up and causes our chests to feel a burning sensation. I have taken several different acid reflux medicines. And here's my review on them.

1)Nexium - possibly the best med for this that's out there. Nexium not only stops acid from coming up but heals the esophagus as well.

2) Priolsec - a cheaper version that is now available over the counter. This is effective. Not as good as Nexium, but still helps stops the acid from coming back up, while you might still feel it a few times, it's a good med for this as well.

3) Protonix- I just hate this med. It's suppose to stop the acid from coming back up, but I have never had much success on it myself. I don't recomind this one.

4) Prevacid- Prevacid is a decent med for this condition. It is better than protonix, but not as good as Nexium, while nothing is as good as Nexium. It will help to stop the acid from coming back up. While you may experience some acid with this med, it's probablly just as good as priolsec, it's along the same lines as priolsec.
