[Dysphagia] laryngospasm

[vstefans at george.ach.uams.edu (Vikki Stefans)]

To Irene and LIndsey - actually, for Medicaid patients, I am often stuck
with trying cimetidine first. Ranitidine, Pepcid, and Axid are other
options besides PPIs. And I suppose you could still try to treat with
antacids like Mylanta and Maalox. about 25 years ago now, I had an ulcer
and got it healed on that, as cimetidine was still so new and there were
long-term side effects fears, etc...
