FAQs from Al Karama patients
Should I be on a PPI long-term?
+
Not necessarily. Many patients can step down or stop with the right lifestyle work and H. pylori eradication. We review properly rather than just repeat the prescription.
When do you refer for endoscopy?
+
Alarm symptoms (weight loss, swallowing difficulty, anaemia, persistent vomiting, or failure to respond to 8 weeks of treatment in patients over 55) trigger a same-week gastroenterology referral.
Can you visit my home in Al Karama?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Al Karama, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for acid reflux & gerd are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
