Is a single dose of P2I sufficient?
No, a single dose may not be sufficient. However, with only a few doses of P2I you may get relief with the symptoms. P2I is usually needed only for a short term or upto 2 weeks for heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux. However, if need arises, such as for treating peptic ulcer disease and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES), P2I may be prescribed for a long term duration as well. Please consult your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking P2I regularly for 2 weeks as prescribed.
