I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns today and will put my best efforts to get you out of this situation.

GAVISCON EXTRA STRENGTH LIQUID can be taken for lowering the symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux disease. It has no pharmacologic interactions with Lithium and is a safer drug for acid reflux.

He also should reduce body weight to keep the Body mass index between 18-25.

No spices and fried junk foods. Bland diet and plenty of drinking water preferred.
