Jack Ellis –
I was diagnosed with acid reflux disease last year and was taking esomeprazole for it. But the medication is not effective for me. I still kept having refluxes very frequently so I swapped my medication to ranitidine and the ranitidine worked. The reflux symptoms instantly subsided and I no longer have to be constantly anxious of a reflux attack when I’m outside the house. Being much at ease now, I can be more productive with my daily activities. This is definitely better.. and cheaper than esomeprazole, too!
