Yes, you can use heartburn medication while taking Ketrel and Escitil. However, a safer choice than Ortanol max (the active substance omeprazole) will be a drug containing pantoprazole (e.g. Controloc Control https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/19739/controloc-control-tabletki/apteki, Anesteloc Max https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/5085/anesteloc-max-tabletki/apteki). Omeprazole is a potent inhibitor of an enzyme involved in the metabolism of escitalopram (the active substance Escitil), it can lead to an increase in the concentration of escitalopram in plasma, thereby increasing its side effects. Pantoprazole is a substance belonging to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), most preparations in this group should be taken for 30 minutes. before the first meal of the day. It should also be remembered that self-medication with drugs of this group should not last more than 2 weeks. If heartburn still occurs after this time, further treatment with PPIs should be consulted with a doctor. I enclose materials that may be useful and information about the possibility of using teleconsultation, if the need arises: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-radzic-sobie-ze-zgaga https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
