- another group of drugs that are used in acid reflux cases are H2RA, which reduce the production of acid; this drugs do not reduce the actual reflux that is cause by acid reflux, but they do reduce the amount of acid found in the liquid that refluxes, thus making acid reflux cause less damage; many of the drugs that fit into this category are not good for children , so it is best you talk to your doctor before taking any of these acid reflux drugs;
- a more recent discovery in acid reflux treatment are proton pump inhibitors; these drugs too reduce the production of acid, thus diminishing the damage done by acid reflux; these types of drugs are much better than H2RA, thus being used more often by acid reflux patients;
- there is also another type of medicines used in acid reflux case, which are thought to tighten the muscle ring and speed up the process that takes place in your stomach; however, because of problems that happened to acid reflux patients when they used this drug, it is no longer in use;
