Brief Answer:
PPI plus pro kinetic
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Complains of indigestion are quite common with both Floxapen and Calvepen. They are mostly self limiting , If annoying and hindering daily routine then I would empirically recommend a two week course of a PPI like Esomeprazole and a prokinetic like itopride or metoclopramide to see for improvement, Sucralfate with Eucarbon ( containing activated charcoal ) is another combination option.
Please consult your physician before taking any medication. Many of these medications are prescription strength and you should never take a new med without discussing it with your primary doctor.
wishing you best of health
thanks
