Some people will see improvement in a day or two, but it is much more common to take around 7 to 10 days to see the full effect . Also because you have to heal an erosion on your esophagus it will take longer. Be patient and continue to take the medicine as instructed. If after two weeks you see no signs of improvement, or your symptoms get worse, see your doctor.
