Suggest A Better Alternative For Dementia

I was on Omeprazole for several years for acid reflux, but went off because of reports of dementia, and started on Ranitidine, but it doesn t seem to be as effective, I ve had a couple of vocal spasms, I have a paralyzed vocal cord from surgery! Is there anything better to take?

Hello,

You can try antacids like esomeprazole which is more effective. Avoid spicy foods and excessive use of alcohol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
