I suffer from oesophagitis quite often and have to quell it with some kind of medication. Unfortunately, ranitidine has been withdrawn from sale (on the grounds that it contained a minute quantity of a carcinogen). Rather than address the possibility of purifying the drug further, big pharma seems to have seen that as an opportunity for pushing more expensive acid-preventing drugs (which act more slowly and are now being disadvised for long term use). Its related drug (famotidine) was apparently released for over-the-counter sale, but is very expensive. I would welcome the expansion of your scheme; endoscopy is labour-intensive, requires a hospital day visit, transport to and from the hospital and carries some risks.
