I have acidity problem from last 3-4 years. I have avoid spicy things in my eating habits. To cure from acidity I used antacids like Gelusil, Digein etc. But when it exceeds I use Piltop tablet which makes me relief for a week but again after a week I have to use it again. I am using this tablet from last 6 months, First, I want to ask whether it is safe for me or I should stop this tablet? Second I want to get rid of this problem permanently. Please suggest.
