Treatment and Risks
Understanding your acid reflux treatment options and being aware of potential risks is essential for making informed healthcare decisions.
Medications We Prescribe
We prescribe proven medications that effectively reduce stomach acid production:
- • Omeprazole (Prilosec) - A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks acid production
- • Ranitidine (Zantac) - An H2 blocker that reduces acid production
We provide a 3-month prescription with convenient home delivery. These medications are stronger than over-the-counter options and provide more effective relief.
How Our Medications Work
These medications work by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces, which helps:
- ✓ Relieve burning sensation in your chest and throat
- ✓ Prevent acid from backing up into your esophagus
- ✓ Reduce discomfort after eating trigger foods
- ✓ Improve sleep by preventing nighttime symptoms
Potential Risks and Side Effects
Possible Side Effects
While generally safe, these medications may cause side effects including:
- • Headache and dizziness
- • Nausea or stomach pain
- • Diarrhea or constipation
In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, including bone marrow disorders, heart rhythm abnormalities, infectious diarrhea, and bone density issues with long-term use.
Risk of Misdiagnosis
We diagnose acid reflux based on your symptoms, but there's always a risk of misdiagnosis. Your symptoms could be related to other conditions, including:
- • Heart disease
- • Gastrointestinal ulcers
- • Infections or inflammation
- • Gastrointestinal cancers
If we determine we can't safely treat you online, we'll provide clear instructions to see a healthcare provider in person. Your safety is our top priority.
Alternative Treatment Options
Lifestyle Modifications
In addition to medication, these changes can help manage acid reflux:
- ✓ Avoid trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty)
- ✓ Eat smaller meals and avoid eating before bedtime
- ✓ Elevate the head of your bed 6-8 inches
- ✓ Maintain a healthy weight
- ✓ Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption
Other Treatment Options
You may consider these alternatives:
- • Over-the-counter antacids for occasional symptoms
- • Different prescription medications at varying doses
- • In-person evaluation for more severe symptoms
Note: Untreated acid reflux can lead to complications including esophageal damage, strictures, Barrett's esophagus, and in rare cases, esophageal cancer.
