Pnatoprazole is what is known as a PPI, proton pump inhibitor, in other words, it prevents the release of HCl into the stomach (hydrochloric acid)... so yes, it is an antacid, but not one that neutralises acids)
You will loose weight cubbie on the diet needed to lower cholesterol and I know you are petite and do not really want to or need to loose weight, however, have you thought of using Bencol or Pro-activ products to lower the bad cholesterol and boost the good cholesterol?
In combination with a healthy diet of course.
Eat foods that are low in animal fats (saturated animal fats)... you can eat saturated plant fats like olive oil, coconut etc.
There will be many a website available to give you guidance on healthy foods and diets for lowering cholesterol.
Hope the little I said helps.............
Bencol and pro-activ products - what are those??
