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?
My doctor told me to take two Prilosec every morning (twice the regular dose) for gastritis. The Prilosec box says to take with “plenty of water”, and that’s for one pill. How much water should I take them with for maximum absorption and effectiveness?
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.
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.
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.
My doctor gave me AcipHex samples today, but I don't remember how many he said to take, and how often. For anybody that takes it, how often do you take the medicine? Thanks
