Prevacid not working
Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid not working
prevacid
Could the Nexium have stopped working? I am now experiencing pain when I swallow, pain just below my sternum and lots and lots of reflux (but not a lot of acid but I do get a burning throat on occasion). I'm also getting many more PVC's from the reflux.
HELP Please... .
Our 7 month old wakes up every 90 minutes due to his silent reflux. The Axid and Prevacid both made his stomach upset worse. So now he's only on Nutramagin formula, rice cereal and fruit. The pediatrician says to make his formula extra thick. His little voice is hoarse all the time. He doesn't have colic. Our lil one is sooo happy until he goes down for a nap or night time sleep.
Is there anything else out there? His upper GI was normal.
If an infants stomach is not empty when given Prevacid their bodies do not absorb it therefore they do not get the best benefit from the medication.
Prevacid also causes Abdominal discomfort in younger patients, the reason for this is due to the high dosage. Prevacid generally does not come in small enough dosages or under 15mg which is considered a high dose for infants under 6 months of age.
You may already have low acid levels, w/o taking Prevacid.
The main cause of the GERD, Erosive Esophagitis or related condition is mainly LOW acid levels, which cause intra-abdominal pressure increase, pushing the lower esophageal sphincter to open and allow gastric acid to enter the esophagus.
i take prevacid for my gerd, can this cause atrial fibrillation

I have been prescribed Nexium by my doctor for the past 9 months and it is wonderful in preventing heartburn but after a while I started noticing that my stomach was slower as it would take up to 12 hours to empty my stomach. I recently changed to Prevacid as it recently came out as an OTC and it is my 10th day on it and already feeling the difference.
Zantac is safe throughout pregnancy. If that doesn't work, or stops working like in my case, Prevacid is also safe during pregnancy and works like a charm. I had it real bad this last time and Prevacid was all that would help me.
My daughter age 15 was diagnosed with GERD after several months of pain and testing. She has been on Prevacid and Zantac for a month now. She has been pain free since starting her meds. Although in the past month she has gained 10 lbs. Has anyone else suffered from this?
We eat a mostly vegetarian diet. She swims a hour 4x a week. Thanks for any info you can give me.
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.
I am taking tagamet otc- Walmart generic brand and for me it is better than the rx ones- But that's just me....
s really bad and none of those help you can see if your doctor is ok with something like prevacid or prilosec.
Yes I do, I'm on Protonix once a day. My experience has been that you have to take it for a couple of months before you feel any results. This last time I've been taking it for around a couple of weeks. It's a common symptom of HepC but not everyone has problems with it. You just got to watch what you eat and don't eat right before you go to sleep.
My 4-month old daughter has acid reflux. She was prescribed Prevacid three weeks ago as she was still irritable after 4-6 weeks of Zantac. After she started Prevacid she was less irritable but developed side-effects including giving up napping during the day and green, mucus-like foul smelling stool (started this week). Oh yeah, she also has a milk protein based sensitivity. My wife is still nursing but has given up all dairy and dairy-like foods.
I am currently on rabeprazole for a duodenial ulcer. Not working. I used to be on Prevacid for excess stomach acid, but stopped using it when I went on the rabeprazole. I have an appt. on Monday with Dr. and hope he can find a solution.
In the meantime I am unable to eat and see no relief in site. Any suggestions? I am losing my mind !!
