HI and welcome to the GERD forum.

I wqould have to say yes...not sure how long u have had symptoms...or how severe ur symptoms are.
The meds u were perscribed are the first immediate time released PPI and should work faster than the traditinal PPI's.

U did not mention what testing ur dr may have done to this point or if there are plans to do some.

How r the meds working?-Please note lifestyle changes along with meds are the best way to reduce acid production including avoiding certain foods.Please see our Health Pages for the tips and foods to avoid list.
Post an updateon ur progress.
