Common Questions and Answers about Nexium and pepcid

nexium

Avatar n tn I would give your dog Pepcid rather than Nexium. Pepcid has been proven safe and effective for dogs and is available over the counter. A large dog can have a full human dose.
Avatar f tn I'm on Nexium, 20 mg a day, and have been for 5 years. Within the last six months they diagnosed me with PVCs, 8500 a day on average, when I never had them before. Naturally I'd like to get rid of the scary things. But how can you just go off Prilosec or Prevacid without getting acid rebound? I'd like to get off it because too little stomach acid can cause anemia, osteoporosis, and B12 deficiency. PPIs have been implicated in all of these.
Avatar m tn Ask your Cardio or GI doc. They should be able to give you the infor you need. I am taking plavix and was on nexium. Had to go off it because of the FDA findings. Am now on pepcid You can also look on the FDA website for more info on that. Good luck.
Avatar f tn My doc told me to use tums and pepcid. Also benadryl is very effective for anxiety in pregnancy and was recommended to me by doc, helped me a lot, only took when i needed to.
Avatar f tn Not sure about Zante but pepcid and nexium is ok.
6470732 tn?1439556292 I'm 18 weeks and I threw up last night because of my stupid acid. It hit at around 12 weeks and has only gotten worse. It started as heartburn and tums were magical. Then it got worse and worse. I got it so bad every night I couldn't sleep. I had to take Pepcid AC before bed just to hope to sleep. To add to it, I get Acid Reflux, too. The acid burnt feeling not only sits in my stomach and chest and goes through my intestines with a diarreah feeling, but also comes up my throat.
Avatar f tn I understand that Medicines for acid reflux that act in the same manner as Nexium, may cause dementia. Does Pepcid and medicines like it act in the same manner? Do they also carry the same risk for developing dementia?
194838 tn?1303428544 I have found that occasionally, during chemo, I need to pop in a PEPCID AC COMPLETE in addition to the Nexium .. but never at the same time. I always needed Pepcid if I drank red wine. I asked my gastro MD about taking both and he said I could since they do different things. My ONC also knows I take both ... Constipation/Diarrhea are common with chemo. I like Miralax for constipation. I prefer not to dwell on the more serious side effects at this time.
1274110 tn?1270788561 I am on plavix also and was taking nexium for gerd. My cardiologist told me to go off the nexium because the FDA has found that the nexium or any of the PPI's inhibits the plavix from working properly. I am now on pepcid instead of nexium. I am curious to find out if your cardio's had mentioned this to you. Protonix is in the same group of PPI's as nexium. Google plavix and ppi's or go on the FDA website. You will read a lot about the two meds. Just for your info.
1510910 tn?1290212649 They gave me Pepcid for the acid but that didnt help and im on nexium and it hasnt helped. I've been on it for the past 5 days and it hasn't done anything. They gave me Zofran but its not helping my nausea and vomiting. The pain is so bad that I can't move without it hurting.
Avatar m tn 4 PPIs: Nexium, Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix; 2 H2blockers: Zantac and Pepcid; 2 antiacids: Gaviscon and Riopan. I couldn't take any of these more than a few days (from 1 to 13 days) because of their side effects. The 2 bad side effects I've most often had are: worsened IBS - bad abdominal cramps (caused by Nexium together with fever and Zantac) a white-coated and burning tongue (caused by Prevacid, Zantac, Protonix, Pepcid, Riopan).
Avatar n tn This that it goes down my throat happened 10 years ago, when I was 30 pounds heavier. I took Prilosec and then Nexium and it solved the problem then. Now (I am normal weight now), when I remember, I take Pepcid AC and it seems to solve the problem for the next night. I am thinking of taking Prilosec or Nexium to permanently stop this from happening. What do you think?
Avatar f tn Pepcid AC. Pregnancy approved and im only 12 weeks. They gave it to me while I was in the hospital. They said it was ssfe enough for me to take everyday if needed. Works in 30min!
Avatar n tn Prevacid, Nexium, Protonix, Aciphex, Zantac, and Pepcid are all used to treat reflux. You can ask you doctor who will know best which one is least likely to cause you dizzyness.
Avatar f tn About 3 months ago I started getting really upset stomach, bloating, and a little diarrhea. I went on Pepcid ac, pantoprazol, and now my doc prescribed nexium. These meds work for a few weeks then stop working. I am now wondering if my stomach issues start over every time I take another bluechew pill (which is only once every few weeks). Has anyone else had stomach issues with viagra or generic sildenafil?
Avatar f tn I took Nexium for 5 or 6 years and each day was misery with uncontrollable diarrhea, and pain. I am almost certain that there is a connection. It has many side effects, but I no longer have my pharmacy print-out of the side effects listed. My doctor told me Prevacid would not cause severe colitis, but it did.
Avatar m tn hi ive been on nexium for 2 years now..i feel its causing me some problems and i want to be on as little medicine as possible so i want to wean my self off of it..i know all about the acid rebound problem if you just stop it..i take a 40mg pill once a day..what kind of weaning schedule can i use to safely wean my self off of this so i have no rebound affects..
10456991 tn?1427890197 I cant sleep because it so bad I have to be sitting up all the time. The pepcid,zantac,tums and Maalox just aren't doing a darn thing anymore. I still have 32 days till my due date. I just dont know how I'm suppose to keep dealing with this. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. It hurts, burns and it's extremely uncomfortable. Since I have it everyday it make me so irritable and infuriates me to no end.
Avatar n tn I called my Doc and she said Pepcid was ok, so I went and picked some up. Omg!! Thanks for the advice!! 12 more days!!! I am so excited to meet the new man in my life!! Lol!
Avatar m tn My cardio took me off the nexium and put me on pepcid. Google plavix and nexium to get more info on this subject or go to the FDA website.
Avatar n tn The doctor who performed the endo said my esophagus was totally healed and I could stop taking the Nexium. I did and my symptoms returned within a few days. I tried ranitidine - no help. Finally it was so bad I asked my MD to put me back on Nexium. I have tried stopping the Nexium several times. I've tried Prilosec OTC. It helped while I was actually on it, but once the 14 day course was finished my symptoms returned after 2 days.
Avatar m tn Ok so I have some of the worst acid reflux....What I don't have is heartburn...Mostly just pain with vomiting...Vomiting is on a regular basis...Pain is slight but constant with out breaks of so much pain that I have put myself in the hospital and they had me on 4 different pain meds before the pain subsided...Morphine, Loritab, and I don't remember the others...I have been on Nexium for several months and have recently tried the Activia 14 day challenge....
