Prilosec every day

Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec every day

prilosec

Avatar n tn Try taking a good multi vitamin that contains 50mg of the B complex once a day and separately take 500 mg of vit C twice a day. As you may have an ulcer I would recommend taking Camu Camu for your source of Vit C. It has a bitter taste so you may want to put the powder into empty gelatin capsules. (size 00) This could take up to a couple of weeks to a couple of months before you notice a change. Vitamins take time to build up in your blood.
Avatar f tn He gave me Prilosec, and I started eating paleo which helped but is so hard to keep up with. Does anyone else have nausea all day every day? I used to smoke MJ all day every day for the pain, but that has stopped working. I am making an appointment with a homeopathic doctor today, anyone had luck with that? This is ruining my life.
Avatar f tn Hi. Thanks for the response. I am taking Prilosec 20mg 2x a day as my doctor thought it was GERD. The Acid Reflux has nearly completely gone away but the nausea is still there after I eat and at night. So frustrated.
Avatar f tn While on the Prilosec (and before) I had diarrhea and loose stools every day. Being as I was having that before, I never attributed it to the Prilosec but now I'm questioning whether or not the Prilosec contributed to the loose bowel movements as I am now back on Prilosec and am having loose stools once again. For the past 3 weeks, without Prilosec, I've had normal stools and since yesterday (the first day back on it) I've had loose stools again.
1806721 tn?1554333407 I found when I got the the stage where I was taking my GERD meds every other day, on the day I was not taking it, I took the probiotics and slowly added the probiotics and took away the GERD meds....this was with my Drs help....so do seek this help from them.
Avatar f tn Is it okay to take Prilosec? They said Zantac was okay, but not to take Prevacid. I bought Prilosec and want your opinions on it.
Avatar n tn I pretty much spit frothy saliva every few minutes all day and all night. It is getting really bothersome.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take Previcid every day and what do you think causes the sore stomach? Also I am wondering if taking Previcid every day causes a loss of nutrients from the vitamins I take?
Avatar m tn I have elevated my bed by my head and it does not seem to help much. My doctor put me on a 42 day regiment of Prilosec which I took and really didn’t notice a difference in my symptoms of feeling like I have to burp or throw up and feeling like there’s something in the back of my throat. I take generic ranitidine as needed. Please advise as I am frustrated. See a GI doctor?
Avatar f tn Prilosec and Nexium is for heartburn. Prilosec is taken over a 14 day period and can only be taken every 4 months. Not sure about dosing for Nexium but Prilosec is often prescribed because it is over the counter.
Avatar f tn Every time I lay down I get reallllly bad heartburn. The only kind of medicine we have for heartburn is prilosec. Does anyone know if it's okay to take?
221122 tn?1323011265 Well, you guys know that my PVCs are back. I take fish oil and Cal/Mg. They were gone for so long that it was very nice.....mmmm. THEN they came back. Anyway, I noticed that it was about a week after I started taking Prilosec every day. Then I didn't take it for a day or two and they got a lot better. I took it again....back. Stopped...they calmed. Yesterday I didn't take it and I had a decent day. I am going to ride this one out.
Avatar f tn Hi, If it is due to GERD Prilosec (PPI) even once a day taken empty stomach in the morning would work the whole day. Sometimes twice a day dose may be required. If there is no response with PPI , the diagnose has to be confirmed with 24 hours pH monitoring test. ================================================================ The information provided is for patients’ education only and is not a medical advice.
Avatar f tn Yes, she can. The order states Prilosec QD, meaning every day. The order doesn't state a time. This is perfectly legal and ok from the nurse's standpoint. If a patient prefers it at bedtime vs morning, then that is another issue or if the nurse thinks the patient should have this medication in the morning vs giving it later at bedtime because the situation warrants that, she can do that too.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your quick response! I am so glad that your husband found relief from Prilosec. What PPI did they have him on before the Prilosec? I'm just curious if it was Nexium. Thanks again for your suggestion!
679466 tn?1247006054 He gave me a bunch of Prilosec samples - told me it was better to take Prilosec every day then Nexium. I said, "really?" He recommended i set up an appointment with a Gastro care Doc. So mayble i'll start taking the Prilosec instead of the Nexium, especially if it works just as well. Do we have confirmation that Prilosec long-term is better (healthier) than taking Nexium long-term? Or is that uncertain?
Avatar m tn My stomach really never felt right while i was on prilosec and every time i smoked my stomach would burn a burn horribly untill the high went away. Then after being on prilosec for about a week days I smoked weed once and had horrible abdominal pain, stomach burning and my kidney area even hurt. I took a shower to try an calm me down which it did for about 20 mns then i went to sleep.
Avatar f tn I can safely take Prilosec, but not every day. I just take it when I feel the heartburn coming on. The Prilosec relieves it in about 45 minutes.
1943416 tn?1324166761 I been taken prilosec otc for 14 days for heart burn.its the best med out there.so i finished the 14 day trial and i dont have heart burn any more but i still feel a little small burn so i asked a pharmacyst if its safe to take more than 14 days she said yes it is but the resson the box sais to consult a doctor is to make sure its not self medicated .
Avatar n tn I have read conflicting information on whether GERD can actually cause shortness of breath. I'm 38, male, smoker, placed on Prilosec last week by my GP. Since I began taking the Prilosec (20mgs per day), I've had several episodes of disturbing shortness of breath...they happen at different times of the day and aren't associated with any physical exertion. I wasn't actually choking or gasping for air, but my chest definitely tightened and every breath felt very shallow.
212161 tn?1599427282 hey thank you for your time. i take prilosec everyday cant go with out it i have reflux really bad is the a bad thing for my stomack will it cause problems down the road been on it for at least 2-3 years do come off of it now and than take zanta for a week but it not as good.
Avatar f tn m 8 1/2 weeks with #2 and have heartburn pretty bad... I had to take prilosec already 1x... usually I can take it every 2 or 3 days and it'll work well... but when It gets bad I have to take it everyday. It won't really hurt baby. :) I'm eating tums like candy... at least I'm getting my calcium!
Avatar n tn As advertised, Prilosec can take 4 days to work because it is very slow acting, therefore, another alternative is to take OTC 20mg every other day. If recommended by a Dr., Prilosec can be safely taken for years.
Avatar f tn Zantac 75 2x a day is safe. But if you get it every time you eat, you should talk to your doctor about the possibility of gallstones which is common in pregnancy.
Avatar m tn I also have gerd and have been on prilosec for 4 years.. should i be concerned or is this an anxiety disorder or side effect of prilosec?? heart disease?
7797471 tn?1397188658 I take omeprazole which I think is the off brand Prilosec. And I'm also allowed to take Pepcid twice a day. It really helps. Don't keep all symptoms down and I still have to watch What I eat but it's definitely better than being on nothing.
Avatar f tn I have it really bad and have to take Prilosec every night before bed, it would wake me up during the night and I've throne up a couple times because of it, since I started taking Prilosec it's been gone and I'm super thankful!!
