How it works:
In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux) GERD is a chronic (long-term) condition that is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally.

Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed. In Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease Nexpro Fast 40 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors.
