Management Through Medications
Frequent or severe dyspepsia may require medication. People should consult a doctor, who can advise on various drugs and their potential side effects. Depending on the cause of the indigestion, the doctor may recommend or prescribe antacids, H-2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, prokinetics or antibiotics.
If a doctor determines that the use of a particular medication is the cause of indigestion, they may prescribe an alternative. A change of medication should only occur under the supervision of a doctor.
