After Neurontin and other meds were prescribed, I woke up one day and could hardly talk! It was difficult to swallow, but no sore throat. I saw PCP, she said due to all the meds I am taking, I have developed GERD. Acid reflux disease. She prescribed Protonex(40 mg.) once a day. I took it immediately, and by the end of the second day, after coughing all the phelm up, I could Talk again.
Protoinix is a wonderful medication. It helps empty stomach out quicker, so it is difficult to get back to an acid reflux situation
I hope this helps you.
