I've been dealing with some tough acidity and gas issues lately. I usually take a Topcid 40 tablet when this flares up, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it safe and effective for what I'm experiencing? Also, are there any tips you could give me to help avoid these problems in the future? And one more thing - between Topcid and Digene, which one is actually better for stuff like acidity or gas?
