Avatar n tn Plavix (Clopidogrel) requires cytochrome P450 enzymes produced in the Liver, and specifically cytochrome P450 2C19. Some proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole) can reduce these enzymes making Plavix far less effective.
Avatar n tn Ive only heard of proton pump inhibitors reducing the effect of Clopidogrel (plavix) but only by a tiny amount. I do have to question though if Zantac is a proton pump inhibitor anyway? Isn't it just a H2 receptor blocker?
Avatar n tn Long term use of proton pump inhibitors to treat acid reflex and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) may increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures, according to a Canadian study published in 2008. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) block the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The study, which included 63,000 Canadians over the age of fifty, studied prescription records and medical records amongst other factors.
Avatar n tn I've had on-and-off mild nausea, including two episodes of vomitting. To check for possible gallbladder problems I had an abdominal ultrasound. The report showed a normal gallbladder but "inhomogeneous pancreas". The doctor has ordered amylase, lipase, and liver function blood work. I have been on proton pump inhibitors for years for GERD and eosiniphilic esophagitis. It's weeks before I can see the gastroenterologist.
1747349 tn?1332683680 Hi Rotimber, This is an article from Wikipedia. Further information: Helicobacter pylori eradication protocols Once H. pylori is detected in patients with a peptic ulcer, the normal procedure is to eradicate it and allow the ulcer to heal. The standard first-line therapy is a one week "triple therapy" consisting of proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and the antibiotics clarithromycin and amoxicillin.
Avatar f tn I have now been advised by a Pharmacist that Prevacid will help me. Will it?? Is this a Beta Blocker only or more? Are there ANY Proton pump Inhibitors out there other than Protonix and generic?. Is there a hospital injection of medicine that can be given? I will anxiously await any and all replys. I am living on Pepcid now with little relief. My Pharmacy puts Protonix at $737. for 180 40mg.tabs of Protonix and $570 for Pantoprazole.
Avatar m tn Hi, Increased acid reflux per se is not supposed to cause increased frequency of micturition but the drugs used to treat the acid reflux like prilosec, nexium which come under the category of proton pump inhibitors can cause increased frequency of micturition. I sincerely believe that helps. Please do keep me posted. Warm Regards.
Avatar n tn Long-term lansoprazole side effects According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide, PPI’s also known as proton pump inhibitors, like lansoprazole may also cause various kinds of bacterial respiratory infections such as pneumonia. While the respiratory and digestive tracts are quite different from one another, both have one body part in common, which is the back of the throat, where the two tubes separate from one another.
Avatar m tn Hi, You must me having acid reflux problems, I suppose. Try drinking plenty of warm water and proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole. Avoid greasy food, alcohol and smoking for few days.
Avatar n tn t good because it has no protection from the acid, becomes damaged and inflamed, and very painful. Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole ensure your stomach produces less acid, giving help for repair of ulcers, or helping with acid reflux in the oesophagus.
Avatar m tn Patients may benefit by elevating the head of the bed and avoid lying down directly after meals.Antisecretory drugs like proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers can be used. Surgery is indicated in cases with chronic reflux. I hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar m tn Even though my tests were normal, he says that sometimes tests can miss pancreatitis, plus, the proton-pump inhibitors he has prescribed seem to do little or nothing. He says that if my pain was caused by acid reflux, the proton-pump inhibitors should fix the problem (same with ulcers). He feels that pancreatitis might be the only other explanation for my pain. The lack of any definitive diagnosis, however, is driving my nuts.
Avatar m tn Medical background for GI problems. November 1994 Upper GI Bleed from me chewing Aspergum, tested me for HIV and I was positive. Year 2000 Upper GI Bleed, 8 blood transfusions duodenum ulcer. Feb 2010 Upper GI Bleed. I've had GERD a long time, taken Proton Pump Inhibitors for years and I have it under control.
Avatar f tn Other than antibiotics, immune compromised states, diabetes, proton pump inhibitors, increased age, recent surgery etc.; may be a risk factor for developing pseudomembranous colitis. Enema has not been associated with an increased risk. Hope this information helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn I have been struggling with cronic Heartburn for 10 weeks straight. After an endoscopy and 10 weeks of different kinds of proton pump inhibitors I'm still not getting any relief. I just read yesterday about Eosinophilic Esophagitis, which is a relatively new diagnosis and is caused from an allergy to certain foods or even airborne substances or pets. I have a relatively new pet (cat) in the home since Nov. so I'm wondering if I've developed an allergy to him, or to a food.
Avatar f tn Just saw this news release from the FDA, and it may affect Lyme patients doubly, since to my understanding Lyme depletes magnesium, and so if you're taking PPIs (proton-pump inhibitors) also, your magnesium levels may be affected more strongly. Something to check with your doc about if you're concerned.
446474 tn?1446347682 In a drug safety communication, the agency warned that there are important drug interactions between boceprevir (Victrelis) and anti-HIV protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir (Norvir).
