Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid and alcohol
prevacid
Alcohol and ANY medications is bad. Alcohol puts stress on all your organs and primarily your liver and kidneys...most medications are cleared through either your liver or your kidneys. Bad mix. You probably need to go to a Detox facility where you can be monitored and given the appropriate meds to help you get off the alcohol.

Hi,
Since January I have been having problem when I drink alcohol. I INSTANTLY retain water and can't pee it out! For years, whenever I drank alcohol I would pee it out all night and even feel lighter the next day. Now, after just a few sips I can feel the water coming on, and I will be a few lbs heavier over the next 2-3 days. It's horrible to not be able to enjoy drinking anymore and I love doing it socially! What can be causing this?
Tylenol would be less irritating to your stomach than ibuprofen, but watch the amount you are taking, especially if you are still drinking, as it can cause liver issues in high quantities or when combined with alcohol.
My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
Wow..I know I'm 2 years late with my comment but I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee. I'm 42 years old for god sake! I've been taking Prevacid for 5 years and my Doctor dismissed the "rumors" as well. I come from a family of fat and skinny but almost 100% healthy members. My Mom didn't start menopause until she was 50 so I know that can't be the problem. I keep thinking; "why are my bones doing this?
I have PAC's which originate in the atrium just like a-fib. When I was trying to get diagnosed with all of my palps, I was having severe nausea and overall sickness 3-4 days a week. I was sent to a gastroenterologist and I was found to have severe acid reflux with Barrett's Esophagus. I was put on Prevacid 30 mg and have been on it ever since. That was 12 years ago ( I was 26 at the time). Over that time, I have accidentally forgotten to take the Prevacid twice.
I know many people that suffer from acid reflux that don't have HCV, prevacid and prilosec are now OTC and work really good.
I have researched Prilosec versus Prevacid and may try Prilosec once I have completed the Prevacid regimen. I also have eliminated alcohol unless it is a rare glass of wine with lunch or 1 beer with an early dinner, maybe once a week.. Beer doesn't seem to be as bad as wine or liquor, at least for me.
I have just started reading the connection between these issues and the vegas nerve. All the doctors want to do is heavy dose the prevacid, prilosec, nexium,etc. You name it. I've tried it. The water in the morning (at least a quart)and dropping down hard on my heels, for me really works the best. All i've heard about the surgery is 90% negative. What if i really had a heart attack one day. How could you tell the difference in symptoms?

I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer and have finished my course of antibiotics, however I'm still on Prevacid. I developed a rash on my forehead about two days into treatment, and it's still there. I thought at first it was the Amoxicillin, but I finished that about a week ago, and the rash is still there. Could the rash be from Prevacid?
Hello, I am an 18-year-old female recently diagnosed with chronic gastritis. I tried alcohol for the first time when I was about 14 - just a few sips. It was immediately followed by excruciating pain in my stomach. Every time since then, if I have more than a few sips, it feels like I'm going to die. In May of 2009, I started feeling extreme pain and nausea after eating high acidic foods. Then recently (July 2009), after having an upper endoscopy done, I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis.
That is interesting because I was taking Prevacid and also noticed an increase in PAC's. Its still to early for me to tell if that was the culprit because my Palps have a mind of their own and can last as long as a week at times. For now though I have stopped the Prevacid to see if that helps. I also take fish oil which I've heard can help palps but I've also read that they can worsen them, who knows? Keep us posted!
A good healthy diet with lots of varieties of vegetables
I had a Barium Swallow, and reflux was found, but no hiatal hernia was found. She prescribed Prevacid, which I have been taking for several months now, and said I should take a Pepcid AC before exercise.
This method has been working much better than anything tried before. But I feel like I am completely dependent on the Pepcid for relief (as it gives me far more relief than my rescue inhaler). I'm not sure how much is too much of the Pepcid.
Randomly about 6 months ago I started getting horrible stomach pains and I finally got sent to a specialist. The other drs. said I had acid reflux and gastritis but did not take any tests other than an h. pyrloi blood test which was negative and just based it off of my symptoms. I do have a family history of various stomach issues which made him think it was IBS.
