Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole are commonly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux in infants with neurological impairment and delay. Ranitidine is an H2 blocker that is also used for reflux, but it is not a PPI. Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant medication and glycopyrrolate is used to reduce saliva and secretions, but neither of these medications are used to treat reflux.
