Doctor recommended Deep Heat for pain in a knee. After application for three days I had symptoms of gastric reflux. I take Lansoprazole Capsules twice daily (been taking them or alternatives twice daily for years). The gastric symptoms reappeared so I had to stop applying Deep Heat. Years ago I was warned not to take Voltaren because It could counteract the capsules.
