I have developed a gastritis after my bout of PMR and treatments. Gastroenterologist started me on Famotidine 40mg. This is OTC for the 20mg dosage. I try to take it as needed but it works better to just take every day. I found I am able to take just the one 40mg tablet daily with reasonable success. I think the prescription says up to 4 tablets daily. I have not seen any side effects at the lower dosage.

1 ReactionGaviscon Extra Strength (OTC) is what I use if I have breakthrough reflux. I also take Protonix 20 mg. Blessings....
It sounds to me your doctor told you to go over the counter.
Check out Organic grocery stores that also sell vitamins. They may have a suggestion of something that’s not so strong. That is what I did many years ago and the one they told me to try worked. Just a suggestion
Actually my doc told
Me not to take any strong prescription or OTC heart burn med due to my autoimmune gastritis. He mentioned the safest is tums.
