deflatine is ok, always read the labels, over the counter antacids contain a very high content of sodium which can raise the blood pressure leading to renal failure. what diets are u on,

I have CKD with a GFR of 30.  I can safely take Prilosec, but not every day.  I just take it when I feel the heartburn coming on. The Prilosec relieves it in about 45 minutes.
