It doesnt hurt, its just a little annoying. I drank alot of soda before this occured(needless to say, I dont now at all). My Doc gave me bentyl for stomach and/or bowel spasms. My Doc is clueless .

Why is my insurance company denying Aciphex?

I have been taking Aciphex since 2003 for GERDS treatment. Now my insurance company is no longer going to cover it. They say the only coverage they now offer is for omeprazole. I'm certain it boils down to a matter of $, but I'm uncertain I'll be better off. Any advice?

Is the prescription named reglan for vomiting for my dog.?

Reglan is the brand name for Metaclopramide which is an anti-nasea medication. It can be used in humans, dogs, and cats. It's a pretty safe drug. Side effects include drowsiness. I accidentally overdosed my daughter when she was 6 weeks old with Reglan. I was hysterical and had to call poison control hotline! They figured the dose I gave her exceeded the maximum allowable safe dose. She slept great that night and was otherwise just fine. I don't recommend that, read your drug labels repeatedly.
