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.
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?
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!
I take protonix. It is used to treat acid reflux or GERD. It works by reducing the amount of stomach acid your body produces.
The typical recommendations for acid reflux that do not include medication are:-Do not eat three to four hours before bedtime.-Raise the head of the bed (a brick under each of the two legs at the head of the bed are sufficient).-Avoid wearing tight clothing.-Avoid use of caffiene.-Avoid large meals (eat more frequent, smaller meals).If all else fails, see a doctor. You may have a structural defect (like a hiatal hernia) or other condition (like H. Pylori) that may need treatment.
The doctor has my son on Zantac twice a day for acid reflux. It has a very strong mint smell. When I give it to him is seems like he spits more of it out than he is getting. Does anyone know if you can mix it with water or formula or have any ideas on getting him to take it easier?
what do you do for it or take? I have it so bad that my food dosent go down, when i burp mouth fulls of food come back up, i stay sick (nausiated ) i get chest pains fron it. I’ve been to a stomach doctor and i’ve been put on just about everything (protonix, acifex made me throw up sick) zantac didn’t work, previcaid gave me an upset stomach for 15 days, lost 11 pounds) and now he just put me on nexium friday, and it’s making me feel sick and a nervious weak feel. ( i also have other health problems diabetic, IBS, Lactose intollerence. i don’t know what else to do for it, I can’t eat without getting sick and it’s got my blood sugars going crazy. any suggestions please let me know.
I have it for couple of months. My primary care doctor prescribed me Nexium for acid reflux, but it didn’t help at all. It tastes like having a slice of lemon in my mouth all day long. I can’t stand it. I asked my husband to kiss me in the most extreme period to see if he feels it but he said I taste perfectyl fine.I haveno idea what to do
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?
prevacid or lansoprazole, is used to treat acid reflux and ulcers. usually once people start taking this or anything similar, like prilosec(omeprazole), they continue for rest of their life. some studies have shown that prevacid can actually “undo”some of the effects of the acid on the esophagus. coffee, pop,basically caffiene are two of the greatest triggers of acid reflux.
