gerd

[mayco]

can you be able to help me whats the medicine for gerd, my friend told me that i can take nexium, or are there any other medicine?

The best medicines I have been prescribed are Nexium and Protonix.  Protonix has a generic available so is inexpensive and works perfectly for me.  Studies have shown Nexium to be consistently the most effective but it is more expensive and not always covered by every health insurance plan.  United Healthcare for example does not cover Nexium.

Hi,
Proton pump inhibitors are very effective for treating GERD.
Among PPI Prilosec is available OTC.
