Is it possible to treat reflux with medication?

Acid reducers called proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are used as medicine for reflux. These drugs help to remove the irritation caused by the acid in the esophagus and the acid in the stomach. If there is a mechanical defect in the valve structure, the duration of use and effectiveness of the drug vary depending on the severity of the disease. In the event of a wound opening in the esophagus or a valve disorder, the complaints of the patients begin again after the drug is discontinued. Approximately 30 percent of patients with gastric hernia, wounds in the esophagus or valve failure may need to use these drugs for life.
