Are medications helpful?
Medications are typically prescribed when preventative measures prove ineffective, and before surgery is recommended. The most common types of medication are H-2 blockers (Axid, Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac), drugs that increase peristalsis and tighten the LES (Reglan), and proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid or Prilosec).
