prevacid vs tagamet

I took Tagamet which is over the counter and had excellent results. If this doesn't help, I would seek a second opinion from another gastro doc. There's obviously something making your stomach burn, they can't just throw up their hands and let you suffer! (although many do). Make sure you're not taking pain medication as well, some can really irritate the stomach and even eat a hole in it, I experienced this with Advil after 10 days.

I have actually been on some form of reflux med for a bit longer than 5yrs and started with Prilosec OTC, then prescription Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex, and briefly Prevacid. These days I tend to take whatever I have in my medicine cabinet (Aciphex or Prevacid) twice a day, max dosage, and occasionally a tagamet to help out. I have a hiatial hernia that is going to be fixed soon so I am hoping to get off the meds and that the side effects will eventually go away...I hope.

I am taking tagamet otc- Walmart generic brand and for me it is better than the rx ones- But that's just me....

Something like prevacid or Tagamet? Or whatever other otc product you may want to try. Also losing weight can make a difference, watching the acidic foods you eat, limiting fatty foods, eating earlier in the evening all can help. The other thing and why I want you to go to the doctor right away to get checked out is that these symptoms can be indicative of a cardiac condition. Not wanting to scare you but heart attacks are also associated with such symptoms.

t seem to really have an appetite, he eats alittle and does drink water. I am now giving him Tagamet liquid everyday and that has stopped for the most part his vommiting, but now he has a constant drooling and it is alot of drooling. I have to wipe it up everywhere. he is at about 4.3 lbs down from 6.1 lbs in june. My vet seems to think he might have a birth defect inside somewhere. Emmitt also seems to snore loudly even when not asleep.

I take my Omeprazole like a good boy daily around 7am before breakfast, but by midmorning the burning has reared its ugly head and Gaviscon and a Tagamet to temper the burning. I have also begun taking another 40mg Omeprazole at night to deal with any nighttime discomfort. I realize I am playing doctor by upping and adding to my current regimen but that is all know.

t remember how long it takes to start working really well. I was on prevacid for about two years before that. I just have GERD, but no damage or ulcers (on original diagnosis three years ago). Can anyone tell me how long it took to start working? Day three and it's a little better, but no where like before. Before I could eat anything and do anything and had no problems (on nexium). Also, nothing else is working on the burning (H2 - Pepcid/Tagamet) or antacids, on the burning...

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 still have the searing, burning horrible pain and hunger that will not go away. I have taken doses of Prevacid, Nexium, Acifex, Zantac, you name it I tried it with no real relief. I am now taking Tagamet and Prilosic but I still am in pain. I had an endoscopy which only showed a small area of inflamation in the antrum. I don't drink and no longer drink coffee. Help! What do they do for someone when the pain won't go away? What do they do when the medicines don't work?

It could be described as a slow constant leakage that increases as I get more nervous. I would eventually be diagnosed with an ulcer. I was prescribed Tagamet and after about 6 weeks the problem went away. Once they took me off Tagamet the trouble returned. That was back in 83 and it has altered my entire existence. Help! does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this issue.

I have been managing GERD for the past 20 years through medication such a Tagamet, Prilosec, Prevacid and now Nexium. I had a gastric endoscopy (UGI) performed 10 years ago and showed no sign of abnormalities. My blood pressure is has been high averaging 150/100 and the doctor recently put me on Lisinopril 5 mg. Within the last 4 to 5 months I have gained approximately 40 lbs and have no energy or motivation to do anything about it.

She says she can barley eat anything without having pain what should she do? and what test can be done so she knows what to do to stop the pain in her chest in back .

Acid reducers like Zantac, Pepcid and Tagamet as well as PPI proton pump inhibitors like Prevacid Protonix and Aciphex commonly help acid reflux. Valium and other benzodiazepines help anxiety. With respect to diarrhea, dexadrine commonly causes that side effect, and many others do as well.

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.

Is it true that if you take 2 Tagamet HB200 pills, it will help lenghten the time methadone stays in you so your not so sick in the a.m. when detoxing? It is suppose to slow the metabolism of the liver, keeping methadone in your system longer, not stronger.

Called H-2-receptor blockers, these medications include cimetidine (Tagamet HB), famotidine (Pepcid AC), nizatidine (Axid AR) or ranitidine (Zantac 25, Zantac 75, Zantac 150). H-2-receptor blockers don't act as quickly as antacids, but they provide longer relief. Stronger versions of these medications are available in prescription form. Medications that block acid production and heal the esophagus.

hi what is Tagamet? I am also looking for a cure since 2013 for the wart. How you use Tagamet in wart?

I was recently reading about Tagamet as I am tired of taking PPi's and decided to go back to Tagamet for my stomach problems. I found that Tagamet can actually help with pain! You might try some before going back to the doctor. Is the pain on both sides or only one side? Is it possible that you have shingles? Some people don't get the "pimples/sores" with shingles. Your pain certainly sounds like Shingles.
