Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I take 1 capsule per day of over-the-counter Prevacid for acid reflux. If I do not take 1 capsule per day, I begin to experience reflux symptoms within a day or two. Prevacid provides me with better symptom control than other proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and much better control than H2 antagonist meds.
