5.Medicines for Heartburn
Proton pump inhibitors (like Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid) can ease the pain caused by acid reflux and other conditions related to stomach acid. But using them for a long time can make you more likely to have gut infections or make it harder for your body to take in nutrients. If you have heartburn a lot, talk with your doctor about all your options.
6.Chewable Antacids
They help get rid of extra acid in your stomach that leads to pain or indigestion. But for some people, they can cause constipation, cramps, and diarrhea. A certain kind called acid blockers (like Pepcid AC or Tagamet) may also cause headaches and dizziness and more serious side effects like confusion, chest tightness, sore throat, fever, unusual heartbeat, and weakness in some people. Call your doctor if you notice any of these signs.
