What Helps Acid Reflux?
6. Baclofen
Baclofen is a variety of muscle relaxant that is sometimes used to help treat acid reflux. It is usually used to help treat medical conditions that involve muscles spasms. It works by reducing how many times the esophageal sphincter will relax and this will, in turn, reduce the volume of digestive juices that are able to escape into the esophagus.
While baclofen is generally safe to use, it can result in some unwelcome symptoms. These symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, weakness, constipation, urinating more frequently than usual, and sleeping difficulties. The patient should let their doctor know if these symptoms persist.
