asked

My dad, who is 70 years old, has type 2 diabetes, a kidney transplant approximately 10 years ago, and is on multiple medications. Recently, he started experiencing acid reflux symptoms, leading to the prescription of lansoprazole, despite being on ranitidine. However, his GP advised that lansoprazole is not suitable due to potential interactions with his other medications. Despite this, another GP prescribed lansoprazole. What are your views on this situation and what further steps should be taken to address his acid reflux and potential interactions with his medications?
