prevacid
I am suffering from a form of reflux which I am told is caused by a nerve believed to be in my stomach, I can only drink water as anything else triggers more acid.I take 300mg ranitidine and 20 mg nortriptyline the former for acid the the nortriptyline to try and numb the nerve.I was discharged from the hospital in 2004 and have carried on with this problem which no one else seems to know anything about.
Hi I have had severe Hives for 2 mos. This is the worse outbreak I've ever had, and my last case of Hives was 9 yrs ago. I was in the ER 2x this past month, put on IV steroids, antihistamines & Ranitidine. I had extensive blood work done for a multitude of alleries- all negative, Lupus, Lympoma, Lymes disease, CAT scan, all negative. I've done 2 rounds of Presnisone (which helped greatly), but 2 days after the last Prednisone pill- boom the hives came back bad.
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!
Have you altered your diet in any way (cut out spicy, fatty, fried, citrus & dairy foods) and if so, with what results? Do you elevate the head of your bed at night to a forty-five degree angle and refrain from eating two to three hours prior to lying down? Do you avoid NSAIDs and aspirin? Do you eat frequent small meals instead of eating large/heavy meals?
As you likely know GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) and headache can often be associated with one another.
I am on Warfarin and apparently, according to the pharmacist (not the Coumadin Clinic) there can be an interaction. There was also no warning on the box. I transitioned to Zantac from Prevacid because of concern that the Prevacid might be contributing to my arrythmias. I am off of the Zantac for a day or two to see if it makes a difference in my INR.
the medicne i was taking right now is prevacid (lansoprazole) motilium and aleva ebastine i dont now if that is the reason of it that cause frequent urination and i have no pain at all in urination and i can sleep easily. could also be like thinking that you need to urinate could be a cause for it if i having activity i am not having frequent urination i take complete urinalysis but it negative is only urobilinogen says .
s the over-the-counter equivalent of the prescription Ranitidine (I was prescribed it when I was pregnant). 2 of those twice a day should do the trick!
Both GERD and hiatal hernias are contributors to different types of cardiac arrhythmia. There is plenty of authoritative information online and here at Medhelp.org. Many hiatal hernias can benrepaired laparoscopically under general anesthesia. I believe the procedure your physician is describing is the standard method of repair. At 83, you probably must weigh the risk associated with the procedure vs. the results you'll enjoy.
I Just need help on What i should do to Help This GERD because i do not like living like this. When I went to the doctor they perscribed me with 250mg of Azithromycin,300 mg of Ranitidine, 500 mg of Amoxicilllin, And Pro Air As Well As Proventil For My Ashma(sorry if i spelt that wrong). Anyways, I Dont Take The Medicine Because I Am A Little Worried About What They Might Do And Im Just Not Into Taking Alot Of Pills. They Kinda Scare Me A Little I Would Hate To Be Addicted.

My daughter (age 27) has been on prevacid for quiet some time for indigestion. She had lunch a few days ago and about an hour later began to have diarrhea and vomiting every 10 to 15 minutes for about 6 to 7 hrs accompanied with severe pain on her right side, under her ribs. She spent several hours in an ER and after blood test, ultrasound, iv and medications she was told that everything was fine but to follow up with her doctor the next day.
Now i am doubtful that i am pregnant as i removed my copper T recently. I am under treatment for stomach inflammation. i am taking ranitidine 150 twice daily for the last 2 months and buscopan when i have stomach pain. i take antacid when have heartburn if i happen to eat anything which is not suitable for my present stomach condition. pls tell me, is it safe to take those medicines if i am pregnant? or do i have to abort if i am pregnant? i am very much worried....thanks in advance.
A few years ago my doctor put me on 75 mg Ranitidine to take twice a day before meals. A couple years ago he also put me on 20 mg Omeprazole to take once a day for 14 days, after which he said I could start taking the Ranitidine again if i still had the heartburn.
