Along with these changes, your doctor may also recommend any of the following medications to use on an "as-needed" basis, which means that you can use them whenever symptoms start or before symptoms occur such as the medication you are using nexium
>>Initial treatment for moderate-to-severe GERD.With moderate-to-severe GERD, lifestyle changes are also important. However, rather than take medication as needed, moderate-to-severe GERD is treated continuously for 6 to 12 weeks, sometimes even longer. Your doctor will select medications based on the severity of your symptoms and whether or not reflux has damaged your esophagus.
>>Maintenance treatment for persistent-but-mild GERD. People who require maintenance treatment may be directed to take either antacids or H2 blocker medication on a regular schedule rather than taking them "as needed." Your doctor will determine the best schedule for you. Using an H2 blocker medication and making lifestyle changes works well to control symptoms and heals about 50% of people with GERD. H2 blockers are used to prevent and relieve symptoms of heartburn and sour stomach, while antacids are best for rapid relief of symptoms and can be taken immediately after meals as well as within 1 to 3 hours of bedtime.
>>Some medications, such as antacids, work right away. Others take days to weeks before you notice a difference in your symptoms. Your response depends on how severe your GERD symptoms are and what treatment plan you're following. Always ask your doctor how soon you can expect relief.
MY advice follow lifestyle changes i mentioned before and contiue using the medication for about 6 month depending on the severity and whether you bediagnosed by your doctor with GERD and then see if your symptoms recur so you have to continue and check with your doctor.
