I could go on and on about how adorable they are, but I've always been one for visuals. Here is a sample of our beginning of the year David project (as in David Shannon's. David Goes to School picture book). Enjoy.
This is particularly true when it comes to gastroenterologistâs âtreatment optionsâ for GERD and gastritis. One of the most over prescribed prescription medications has to be the proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Such medications are used to treat GERD/Acid reflux. These include over the counter medications like Mylanta, Gaviscon , Maalox or Rolaids or prescription only medications such as Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid. In 2012 the estimate of prescriptions written for PPIâs was 157 million.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually taken one time a day. They are sometimes taken two times a day if a stronger dose is needed. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) greatly reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, which in turn reduces irritation of the stomach lining and allows an ulcer to heal. When used with antibiotics, PPIs also help treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Proton pump inhibitors are used to treat ulcers.
