Managing symptoms and treatment for a flare

[drz]

I've been taking 20 mg of Omeprazole for years to control my GERD and it works very well. I asked my Nephrologist about the claims that it may hurt your kidneys and he said it is very rare and not to worry about it. I was buying OTC Prilosec but later found out my PCP could prescribe it and my insurance pay for it.

I have been taking 80 mg of propranolol (generic Protonix) for years for my GERD which is double the usual recommended dosage. I have to get an exemption from insurance each year to get it covered.
