What Are The Alternatives For Titralac?
I was using titralac as an antacid when needed. I take Protonix daily. I tried to buy more Titralac and was told it is no longer being produced. Protonix does not keep me from having acid reflux, sometimes severely. Nothing I have tried works like Titralac. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
Protonix and titralac are drugs used to treat diseases related to acid secretion in the stomach. These two drugs work differently and produce satisfactory results when they are associated. When a peptic ulcer is involved, you need to take treatment for 2 to 4 weeks. Other antacids that may work efficiently include Tums, maalox, Topaal, etc. I would advise you take the antacids in association with Protonix for at least 2 weeks.
If possible, do H. pylori test to see if this bacteria is responsible for the problem.
I hope that helps
I wish you well.
