Which medication category is used to relieve symptoms of gastric reflux?

Anti-emetics
Anti-reflux medication
Anti-anginals
Cardiac glycosides

The correct answer is: Anti-reflux medication

Anti-reflux medication is the best choice because it is specifically indicated for relieving symptoms of gastric reflux. Option A, anti-emetics, are used to treat nausea and vomiting, which may be a symptom of gastric reflux, but it does not directly target the underlying condition. Option C, anti-anginals, are used to treat chest pain associated with heart disease and have no effect on gastric reflux. Option D, cardiac glycosides, also have no effect on gastric reflux and are used to treat heart failure and certain heart rhythm abnormalities. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and effective category of medication for relieving symptoms of gastric reflux.
