I have been suffering from upper abdominal bloating, excess acidity, and chronic constipation for several months. Although medicines like Veloz-D, Pepsigard-O, and Laxit Plus or Pegalup provide temporary relief, my symptoms keep returning. What are the best alternative medications or long-term pharmacological treatment options to resolve these chronic digestive issues?

For long-term management of your chronic symptoms, a gastroenterologist may suggest transitioning from temporary relievers to targeted maintenance therapy. For chronic acidity and bloating, proton pump inhibitors (like rabeprazole) combined with prokinetics (like itopride) help improve stomach motility. For chronic constipation, daily osmotic laxatives (like polyethylene glycol) are safe for long-term use. Alternatively, prescription medications that stimulate fluid secretion or bowel motility, such as prucalopride, linaclotide, or lubiprostone, can provide lasting relief. Please consult your doctor to rule out underlying issues like thyroid imbalance, and to safely design a long-term treatment plan.
