There are multiple medications for GERD. Treatment should be individualized depending upon disease severity.

Prilosec OTC and Nexium are good for chronic GERD. You take them for 14 days every three months to keep your symptoms at bay.

The antiacid medications like H2 receptor blockers (zantac, pepcid,...) and especially proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex,...) are best for controlling GERD.
