prilosec

Avatar m tn Would still be interested in any experiences with generic prescription omeprazole, as compared to prescription Prilosec and Prilosec OTC.
Avatar f tn Last summer I developed s dry cough and shortness of breath. In November Doc put me on 40 mg Prilosec one daily and it causes me to feel terrible, anxious etc. we changed to 20mg 2x daily and Zantac 150 1x daily and the cough resolves within a week but I had globus, phlegm, sore throat...typical LPR symptoms. GI doc did an upper endoscopy in January that looked pretty normal with the exception of candida on the 6 areas she biopsies.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking the Prilosec OTC 1 time a day in the morning but I read that for LPR you need to take 2 pills twice a day. Please someone tell me how to fix this irritated throat.
Avatar m tn While u r having the flare up do try to avoid the spicy foods, and greasy foodsm carbonated bevs and caffeine....like coffee to aid the meds, BTW Prilosec can take a few weeks to see results not a few days, and u do have to modify ur diet in order for the meds to be the most effective. Stress can also trigger these flare ups so if u worry about a friend or what something may be or not be that can add to how u feel...
Avatar n tn The lump is back, I have had episodes where even with the Prilosec, I got heartburn and some acid and stomach issues. Went to the ENT, he scoped me and said all looked good, told me about this globus sensation and gave me a nasal spray... Am I worrying about nothing... right away lump and I got cancer... so worried... anyone else experiencing this???
Avatar n tn It appears that maybe the lack of nicotine has caused some change in your stomach. Ten years ago, I developed a second ulcer, and I have taken one OTC Prilosec a day for 10 years with no problem. Why not try an experiment and take one Prilosec or Prevacid a day for 4 days to learn whether your heartburn has stopped? The stronger pill, Nexium, has just become available OTC and may deserve your consideration.
Avatar n tn Hey there I have been dealing with the same thing for a month now go to a ent they did a scope in the office and told me I had lpr which is acid reflux silent reflux actually they have me on prlosec generic which helped the lump feeling I was told by my reg Dr that I had post nasal drip I Dnt think that was the case but I took zyrtec d and that cleard it up ...
Avatar f tn Hi, I have read the information related to LPR on this forum and would like to make some recommendations if that can help to relieve some of the symptoms. #1 - Check your uric acid level. #2 - Drink Kefir and add George’s Aloe Vera juice #3 - Alkalize your body with drops, tablets or alkaline stick. #4 - There is a test called Peptest by an UK company called RDBiomed. #5 - Use GABA supplement that helps a lot. Start slowly and increase as needed.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply. I was given antibiotics because my doctor thought I had bronchitis. I was also given an inhaler, was told to try nasal steriod and lastly the Prilosec. Nothing has helped. I'm constantly clearing my throat. I sometimes feel there is something stuck but not all the time. This has been going on for over 4 months and is quite exhausting. I'm not sure what to try next. I've been referred to an ent.
Avatar f tn Hi, The update on my LPR is this. I took Prilosec, 40mg twice a day for three months and the lump was gone. My doctor cut me back to once a day as according to him the textbook way of treating this is three months twice a day and then three months once a day. Within two weeks of cutting me back to once a day, the lump was back. He put me back on twice a day and sent me for an endoscopy.
Avatar m tn With all these doctors, they have me on an antibiotic, steroids (short term), prilosec twice daily, zantac once daily, omnaris nasal spray, and allegra d. I haven't had any changes in my wheezing though. Anybody have any ideas? I have an appointment to go to an ENT in a couple of weeks, but the allergist says they usually can find the same problems as them. It's difficult to talk too much because of the lack of air coming in to my throat area. Any ideas anyone?
Avatar m tn s has healed completely, but I am concerned that continued use of Nexium may result in loss of bone and eventual hip fracture. I take calcum, vitamin D, (and other supplements) and exercise regularly, but I can feel my bones "thinning down" (fingers and toes). Is there anything else I should be doing to keep my bone strength up?
Avatar f tn It does sounds like GERD and you can try over the counter prevacid or prilosec to see if it helps. You can also try eliminating all gas producing foods from your diet like carbonation, beans, etc.
Avatar m tn I have had this for 2 months now. I have taken Prilosec and Pecid Complete and even Benedryl thinking it might be an allergic reaction, but nothing helps. Please can you give me something to go on.
1364792 tn?1278051187 It was first marketed in the US in 1989 by AstraZeneca under the brand names Losec and Prilosec, and is now also available from generic manufacturers under various brand names. AstraZeneca markets omeprazole as Losec, Antra, Gastroloc, Mopral, Omepral, and Prilosec. Omeprazole is marketed as Zegerid by Santarus, Prilosec OTC. The side affects mentioned in the above post can happen after long term use.......
Avatar n tn I just saw one of the best ENTs on the west coast and just from my description of my symptops, he accurately predicted other symptoms and details, as well as what he would see when he looked down my throat. Turns out, what I have is LPR (laryngopharyngeal) reflux. It's when your larynx, the opening of which is adjacent to your esophagus, develops a sensitivity to even the small amount of stomach acid that normally refluxes from your esophagus.
Avatar m tn Greeetings, LPR does not presents with symptoms in many ocations unless trigger by an episode of forcefull use of voice like being in a kariokee for example. The symptom improvement should fall iwith in 3 month period. The recommended treatment is 90 days use of an antiacid of the PPI class, ( Proton Pump Inhibitors ), like Omeprazole, ( Prilosec ), or Pantoprazole, ( Protonix ) for example, at low dose but TWICE a day BEFORE meals.
Avatar n tn Definitely not LPR.. I was recently told that it is probably chronic sinusitis, and I've tried that netipot thing and some mucus thinner. These lessen the symptoms but not quite enough. Good until I find out what's causing the actual sinusitis, if that is in fact what it is.
Avatar f tn I have recently been diagnosed with LPR. It took the physician 4 doc visits for him to say I had this condition. He has prescribed prilosec but it's not helping at all. I feel the same way I felt in my first visit. Symptoms include post nasal, burping, feeling like something is in my throat and in the middle of the night coughing and gasping for air. I'm looking to try some alternative ideas. I've spent too much time and money on my doc visit and he hasn't helped one bit!
Avatar n tn ve read around a lot recently and it seems like a lot of people with similar symptoms diagnosed with GERD / LPR seem to have had luck with Betaine Hydrochloride HCl + Pepsin + Digestive Enzymes in treating reflux. I'm not sure if I have low stomach acid, but I really want to give this a try. However, I don't get why I have such a hard time dealing with sugar / sweets? It's like 20x worse than other foods / flavors. Basically eating anything triggers this mucus / swelling reaction.
6780206 tn?1386121349 Silent Reflux I was diagnosed with LPR aka-(silent reflux). By an E.N.T. & also an Gastro. Dr. They put me on heavy doses of Prilosec/ Zegerid/alkaline Diet-it made the problem so bad-I was miserable. Lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. From 175 to 160- I was buying my alkaline water at a health food store and let it slip about what my problem was-they immediately educTed me on these drugs that are designed for reflux -folks with this reflux-you are all going in the wrong direction.
Avatar f tn I would suggest that you experiment with Zantac or Prilosec, and acid reflux lifestyle changes (diet, elevate the head of your bed 6 inches, don't eat 3 - 4- before going to bed, avoid caffeine) and see if there is any improvement.
Avatar m tn Okay thank you. Now we have an accurate answer.
Avatar f tn I would also like to add that the only thing keeping me from going to the emergency room is the fact that I keep burping and I know burping is a symptom of GERD. When I burp the pain and feeling in my throat temporarily goes away. But almost immediately returns.
Avatar n tn My mother was on long term acid blocker nexium (similar to prilosec (omeprazole) but more powerful) and these were some of the dozens of symptoms that she no longer suffers with since stopping nexium... severe major clinical depression, severe anxiety, severe constant fungal infections, homocysteine in imminent heart attack range, severe angina pain, severe stomach pain (nexium worsened her gastritis), sky high blood pressure - given less than 5 years to live by an international specialist.
Avatar n tn I was very stressed at that time and anxiety was killing me. Sometimes I feel like that I have like some king of a rash in the back ion my tongue and I can feel it only when I swallow saliva (have no problem eating). I went to ENT and he did not see anything. Sometimes I feel something on a right side of a throat when I swallow (saliva only) sometimes on other side.
Avatar m tn ve started my antibiotics again and am afraid to stop the prilosec since my throat is still sore and I still get reflux. I have a throat scope in a few weeks but I doubt it will do any good for me. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? The reflux and sore throat are worse than my lyme symptoms and I need to get it under control so I can finish my lyme treatment. I'm afraid I may develop a permanent reflux condition.
