Alugastrin has a protective effect on the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum and also relieves pain. This drug can be used temporarily, but it will not eliminate the cause of health problems. In most cases, in the case of a hernia of the esophagus, a much better option is pharmacological treatment, which is based on the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), e.g. pantoprazole, omeprazole, esomeprazole. Therefore, it is worth contacting the attending gastrologist to determine the specific drug and dosage. We should also remember in this disease to use a diet (easily digestible, without spicy spices, sour products, with a restriction of alcohol and strong coffee and tea) and avoid physical exertion immediately after eating a meal.
