The effect of this medication should be preventing gastric acid to destroy stomach(or esophagus).
There is some reason why a patient should increase his/her stomach pH. Acidity inside stomach is used for digesting food and killing microbes, but when there is no food then the stomach can digest itself and causing pain. Sometimes the acid also can go upward into the esophagus and damage it, called acid reflux.

In which environment are you most likely to find animals that employ uric acid as their primary form of nitrogenous waste?
Elena-2011 [213]
Nitrogenous waste of the body are excreted by organisms of different species differently. Others, such as the mammals excrete it in a form of urea while other in a form of ammonia. Still others, excretes it in a form of uric acid. The latter group of organisms being referred to are the BIRDS and REPTILES. 

This organisms found to excrete the nitrogen as urea are called as uricothelic organisms and excrete white powder or paste. The process of conversion of ammonia to uric acid needs a lot of energy or energy intensive, however; it is less toxic and reduces need for water.

What type of ions carry the impulse across the synapse from one neuron to the next ?
grandymaker [24]

It's the sodium ion.

When a neural impulse is fired in both neurons, it is always cause by an excited electron in one neuron moving to the other neuron to destabilize the balance of ions trying to keep them at equilibrium. This action either depolarizes or hyper-polarizes the membrane. If it does, then sodium ions--the key deficient ones--can flow into that region of low charge and maintain that state of low charge, keeping the cell membrane stable.
