I suffer from pretty bad GERD. I do take protonix, but I have been using this liquid antacid. Should I be concerned that it contain parabens? I'll windup having to use it usually 1-2 times a week.
Ingredients: Active: aluminum hydroxide (equiv. To dried gel, USP) 400 mg, magnesiumhydroxide 400 mg, simethicone 40 mg.; Inactive: butylparaben, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, peppermint oil, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, potassium citrate,propylparaben, purified water, simethicone emulsion, sorbitol

It's the only thing that'll work instantly on short notice.

Parabens have been around for along time. They are in a HUGE amount of products to prevent bacteria growth and so fourth. If your struggling with GERD and your on taking the liquid 1-2 a week. I don't see an issue. I also have never heard of contraindications with protonix and parabens. If your really worried though you should consult your MD.
