Acid-Controlling Medications
Many OTC medications are available for eliminating or treating acid reflux. These include:
– Proton pump inhibitors: These medications can block cells in the stomach from sending acid to the gastrointestinal tract.
– Histamine antagonists, also known as H2 blockers, work by binding to histamine receptors in your gastrointestinal tract. This helps prevent stomach cells from releasing more acid.
– Antacids: These drugs can help neutralize acid in the stomach to ease acid reflux. [7]
