I've always said if symptoms were so intolerable I would take it but, I haven't had the need to take it. So, it's up to you and what you think is best.

In order to treat Acid Reflux/GERD I have been taking Ranitidine/Zantac per doctors advice. I started developing various side effects several months ago. To verify the side effects were caused by the ranitidine I would stop for a few weeks and use TUMS instead. I repeated this cycle several times. The symptoms would go away each time I was off the ranitidine for a week or so.
Have a sensitive stomach and get burning pains especially if food has chilly or is strong in acid. Ranitidine has helped but from time to time suffer missing hearbeats. Having given up the drug for a while things improved but stomach started to suffer again and thus the reason to re-start the drug.
A glass of milk, tums, chewing peppermint gum, taking about a teaspoon of baking soda in some water
the drugs are prednisolone tablet, ranitidine tablets and dexamethasone eye drop for the period of about three months. but he has since stopped using these drugs since april.
I've been having morning sickness from the beginning of this pregnancy . I've tried Diclegis, Zofran & now promethazine but nothing seems to help . I'm exhausted & always dehydrated I feel like I'm being controlled by it . I know its a normal part of pregnancy but I'm so ready for it to end . anyone else?
Hi everyone, I would like to ask whether the use of Raglan in pregnancy due to the morning sickness can have negative effect for the baby? Because I am throwing out everything I can't eat, I even couldn't drink and was in hospital last week, and the doctor said I have to take Raglan. I take the medicine now and I feel better but I'm worried for the baby.
A similar thing like this occurred a month ago, however, my stomach only hurt when I touched the very lower portion of it then. Today my stomach hurts when I touch it mostly in the middle and when I don't touch it. The pain feels like the inside of my stomach is just raw. I don't have constipation, diarrhea, or vomiting occuring, but I am having problems sexually. I've taken urine and blood tests all coming back negative. The blood tests were to check my blood counts etc.
We have managed to ween them from the domperidine which seemend to go ok only a little bit of sick. With advice from our paed we have recently taken them off the ranitidine but ever since they have been up all night , uncomfortable and suffering from a sever cough. When we take them to the doctors they advise that their chest is clear and that is it so we are now stuck on what to do. Do we put them back on the ranitidine or see if the cough goes away?
I jus wanna swallow 80 ice cubes nd keep them there for the rest of my pregnancy. Before I got pregnant I had never had it nd always thought ppl were over exaggerating but holy this aint no joke. I hope this isnt an open door for it to happen even after I give birth. So many changes pregnancy can give you.
During really hard vomiting, I felt like a lump was in my chest. Afterwards, I started having bad relux and shortness of breath. A week later, I was in the emergency because I couldn't take deep breaths. After numerous tests including blood work, ekg, chest X-rays and urine tests, they determined I had a bad UTI. All my other tests came back normal. I took the percription until it was gone, but I continued to have a day every 4 days or so where I couldn't take a deep breath.
ve suffered with acid reflux and heartburn through out my whole pregnancy.. i am 39+3 ...tums did nothing for me. My dr. Said i could take zantac or Ranitidine 150mg. I take one in the morning and another at night.
Gaviscon always helped me in my first pregnancy.

Hi ladies, I'm 36 weeks (37 this sunday) and although I've had heartburn my entire pregnancy, it hasn't been bad and I've been able to control it with alka seltzer relief chews once in a while when it happened...lately it's become horrible!!! My throat feels like it's on fire almost all day long...any suggestions on what to take or what to do? I avoid lying down after meals and if course any irritating foods, but it's constant and nothing helps!!!
