Acid Reflux Product Reviews

B asked:


Why are there 4 different medications used for reflux in infants?

If medication is needed, treatment will often start with a class of medications called H2-blockers, also called H2-receptor agonists. These drugs help keep acid from backing up into the esophagus. H2-blockers are often used to treat children with GER because they come in liquid form. H2-blockers include

cimetidine (Tagamet)
ranitidine (Zantac)
famotidine (Pepcid)
nizatidine (Axid)

Which one is gentler on the system?
Which has the least side effects?
In short, which, in your opinion, is better?
