I am 34yrs old/M suffering from Acid Reflux (Esophagus Ulcer). I am undergoing treatment from last 2 months and as per my doctor there is no need of surgery. My condition is much better but not sure how long it will take to recover fully. I am on following medicines from last 2 months 1. Ranitidine & Domperidone 2. Amlodipine besylate atenolol (1/2 mor/eve) 3. Lantac As per doc, my valve is 70-75% fine as earlier it was open. I am concerned about side effects of these medicines
