Adjust Current Medications
Certain prescription medications would cause acid reflux by relaxing your esophageal sphincter or irritating the stomach. These include oral antibiotics, birth control pills, or calcium channel blockers. In many cases, you may reduce these effects simply by taking the drugs with food or a large glass of water. Another way is to switch to a medication with coated pills. Overall, it is important to carefully observe side effects of any prescription medications that you take often and consult your healthcare provider to seek better alternatives. [8]
