Generic Protonix

I have just been prescribed Protonix to help with my acid reflux and ulcers. The only problem is, there is no generic to this drug and I do not have any insurance. Could someone tell me how I can get this medicine cheap or a program for uninsured people who require these medicines to live a normal life? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Zantac and pregnancy.

I am dying of the worst heartburn ever…everyday!!!
I am pregnant and it gets worse everyday. I have been taking zantac 150..a miracle drug if you ask me. The dosage is no more than 2 a day. However…..2 a day no longer cuts it for me. Zantac is pretty safe right???? Is it really that bad to take 3 a day. Anyone have any experience with this drug?

How Long Will It Take For Prilosec To Start Working For My 6 Month Old?

My 6 month old was taking Prilosec for about a week with little improvement. The GI specialist just upped his dose A LOT. But he is still not taking a bottle, and acting like it hurts. Will it take a few days for increased dose to make a difference, or should it be working the first day?

I’ve just gotten a script for Prevacid. It’s the solutab variety that dissolves on your tongue. The only time i can take it on an empty stomach is in the morning, but i have to take other meds at that time, too? How long after it dissolves, can i take a sip of water to down my other meds?

    What Happens If Cytotec Has Contact With Tip Of Penis?

    I wanted to know cause my boyfriend has an ex-girlfriend inserted cytotec into her vagina before they start doing the deed. The girl did that because she is pregnant wanted an abortion with the help of cytotec. He doesn’t know that the girl inserted cytotec to her vagina until he felt burning sensation inside while pumping. Since that, he is always claiming of burning feeling on the tip of his penis each time he had sex. Could it be one of the side effects of cytotec?

    Nexium??????

    I was given Nexium by my doctor for my acid reflux plus unexplained stomach pain. If I try not to take it my pains and acid reflux comes back. My question is…can I continue to take this medicine forever with no repercussions?
