My husband has been on this acid reflux med and since we’ve started have not been able to conceive. Do you think this is why? Has anyone been on a med and stopped and actually got pregnant??? thanks!
Does anyone know what an equivalent (or close to it) would be for aciphex?
I was diagnosed with acid reflux and didn’t really think I had a problem with it that much. I was put on Aciphex and experienced everything from passing out to heart attack symptoms and anxiety and depression all within 10 days…… I quit taking and stomache felt better immediately, but my head still feels funny after being off a week. They suggested Nexium…. but I am just going to do over the counter stuff and change diet. I would rather lose an arm or leg than to continue on that poison. Anyone had similar?
As a general rule, standard doses of proton pump inhibitors (20 mg of omeprazole, 30 mg of lansoprazole, 20 mg of rabeprazole, or 40 mg of pantoprazole, all administered before breakfast) will relieve symptoms and heal esophagitis in approximately 85 to 90 percent of patients.Most patients with GERD, particularly those with sever esophagitis, will relapse once therapy is discontinued.AcipHex possesses a slightly faster onset of action because of its pharmacokinetics. Overall, when comparing proton pump inhibitors (PPI), such as Nexium and AcipHex, while some differences have been reported, the magnitude of differences has been small and of uncertain clinical importance. In particular, the degree to which any of the reported differences would justify the selection of one versus another PPI, particularly when considering cost-effectiveness, is unclear.-physician at large.
Im on Armour Thyroid meds that i take in the morn. I wanted to know if I could take Aciphex at night? Can these two meds. be taken together?
I am taking Aciphex for H. pylori (bacteria that causes ulcers). Is there any reason I should not be taking Prilosec OTC instead? They are both PPIs but with different active ingredients, and they work the same way right? Does Aciphex have characteristics that are better for fighting H. pylori? Or is this just to help my doctor get more money?
I’m just curious, how does Aciphex work to relieve heartburn? Is it a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec? What are possible side effects.. and would you recommend it? Thank you!
my doc thinks i have an ulcer and gave me aciphex, i’ve bin taking it for 4 days now and still have pains in my stomach.how many days untill it starts to work?
I have been coughing at night for weeks now. Mostly at night. I will be fine and then go into a coughing fit. I use sugar-free cough drops that surpress it but as soon as it is gone the cough returns. I have heard that heartburn medicine can cause a cough. Is this the kind of cough it causes?
I had been using Protonix and had to take it 30-60 minutes before a meal. My doc late yesterday gave me samples of Aciphex because the Prontonix appears not to be helping anymore my larynx/silent reflux. I forgot to ask him if with Aciphex there is the 30-60 wait or it can be taken right before/after a meal? Thanks.
