Answer: A) PPIs suppress acid more strongly and for a longer time.

Explanation:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as a disease of digestive system in which stomach acid comes up into the esophagus for long-term and causes irritation in the esophagus.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be treated by using anatcid (Histamine type-2 receptor antagonist- H2RA) and proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

Both medications work in same manner by decreasing and blocking the production of stomach acid. but antacid works for a short time period while PPI is effective for long time and has stronger effect.

In this case also anatcid is non-effective for the reflux and provider prescribe PPIs which has stronger ability to suppress stomach acid for longer time.

The correct option is A.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Exercising doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym. Exercises can be done at the comforts of your home too, and there's plenty of exercise available, especially for those who have less time to do so. Just like for example, waiting time. While you are waiting for your clothes in the washing machine to finish, you may use this time to do some basic exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks or carrying weights. It may only take a few minutes, but performing these exercises in less time is better than not doing it at all.
