Stomach Acid Imbalance: Conventional and Prescription Medications
-  Print ThisPrint This

Conventional and prescription medications used to treat stomach acid imbalance may deplete nutrients or interfere with nutrient absorption. Following is a list of conventional medicines that may be used and the nutrients they may deplete:
  • Antacids – Brand names: Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia®, Amphojel®, Tums®, Mylanta®, Maalox®. Products used to neutralize stomach acid.
  • Histamine H2 antagonists – Brand names: Tagamet®, Zantac®, Pepcid®. A group of medications that block H2 receptors to control stomach acid production.
  • Products to relieve indigestion, gas, and bloating – Brand names: CharcoCaps®, Gas-X®, Mylicon®, Phazyme®, Pepto-Bismol®.
  • Proton pump inhibitors – Brand names: Prilosec®, Prevacid®, Protonix®, Aciphex®. A group of medications that stop stomach acid production by shutting down a system in the stomach known as the proton pump.
Warning: Medications that reduce stomach acid may make the chronic condition of low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) worse, rather than better.

All is well. And your product: Calcium, Magnesium w/SRT, B Vitamin w/SRt have been doing for me what needs to be done. At least that's what I surmise after my endocronoligist tells me that my Calcium and Magnesium levels are where they are suppose to be. Thank you for your product line and service and I plan to continue with you guys. Might in fact I've got to reorder more Calcium. Thank you and Keep up the good work and service that you provide.
