Avatar f tn Anyway, a month later, (yesterday) I was prescribed lansoprazole but I have done some research and it says lansoprazole can cause kidney failure. Should I take these tablets or wait till Friday and get a second opinion from the hospital on my assessment?
605877 tn?1301700646 I was put on Lansoprazole on 26 Nov and my doctor put me on 30mg for a week and then said to reduce it to 15mg which i have done and taken for the last 2 weeks. however on Wednesday i missed a tablet and took it Thursday morning and carried on with my usual practise of taking my 15mg in the evening as prescribed by my doctor.
Avatar f tn do you think they are been over cautious? Ive been told i will be on these tablets for a year at least and the asprin for life. ... P.s was my Troponin levels raised to an abnormal level? the pain i got was awful the worst ive ever had...
Avatar m tn pylori after having a breath test done, and have been prescribed by my doctor - lansoprazole 30 mg - metronidazole 400 mg - amoxicillin 500 mg. All three medacation taken twice a day for a 7 day course.I am now into the 5 th day of taking them.There seems to be no side effects, the problems of bloating,discomfort (painfull at times) that comes and goes througout the day,has not eased at all. If these combanation of tablets were going to work,would my symptons have eased by now ?.
Avatar n tn oops, I forgot to add lansoprazole tablets for acid reflux, I take these periodically - would these affect results?
Avatar f tn t realize that. Sometimes medications are used for purposes that are not standard. Perhaps someone else is acquainted with this use. But if you are uncomfortable with a medication I would ask your doctor to talk to you more about its use and what possible side effects it might have.
Avatar f tn this is known as off labeling...where a drug is intended for one purpose but used for another....in this case insomnia......

Avatar m tn First let me ask are you taking any stomach medications now? Does your throat burn? what are your eating habits like? How old are you? how much do you weigh?
Avatar n tn I am nearly at the end of a monthly course of tablets and will be seeing the doctor soon, what further tests or treatments should i be asking for? How do i find out what is causing this?
Avatar f tn I have had GERD for over 10 years (been taking lansoprazole 30mg that whole time), and was recently diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and chronic gastritis after an endoscopy (along with very low vitamin D levels). Blood test does not indicate celiac disease, although results of intestinal biopsies not yet known. What I do not understand is that my weight is going UP, despite dieting. I am at my wits end and getting so low because of this. Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening??
Avatar m tn t know why they did this without addressing the cause, which seems to have been acid reflux. The lansoprazole worked but I have used Gaviscon in recent years. The problem comes back from time to time, like now, which is why I'm on this site! I'm hoping a resumption of lansoprazole will sort me out in the next few weeks. How are you now?
Avatar f tn Hi, im hoping someone will be able to help me understand a bit more about my symptoms. I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago and had an acidy feeling in my stomach for the past 5 years. I eventually realised it wasn't normal hunger pangs and went to to the doctor 2 years ago who put me on lansoprazole which comletely cleared it up, so after 5 months I stopped taking it.
1711242 tn?1308266891 Speak to your doctor if you are not on these tablets and get on them because they are wonderful. Make an appointment if you are on the tablets as there is obviously something else going on, i really wish you luck with this.
Avatar m tn So she went to the doctors and prescribed Lansoprazole. About a week and a half after the Lansoprazole was prescribed she started to shake. And for about a half a week now its been getting worse and worse. Now she is also having trouble seeing, and is experiencing ear ache's and headaches. While she is still shaking. What could be the issue?
Avatar f tn hi thanx for your comment. the gtn spray is used for angina attcks and i have been using that for the chest pain i am getting and it seems to bre relieving it.. the lansoprazole is for indigestion but i dont think i suffer from it and i take them religiously so i really am now confused..
Avatar n tn My doctor had prescribed me Prevacid (Lansoprazole) and told be to take tablets called pepcid complete to help my stomach. For the first couple of weeks, i was doing fine and i had seem to be getting better. Even my eating started to get back to what it used to be. Then, out of nowhere i had gotten sick with a congested nose and my throat was kind of itchy.
Avatar m tn I was then prescribed a nasal spray which made no difference. Right now I am taking lansoprazole 15mg tablets (1 day) which is essentially for acid reflux. I was on a higher dosage at one point. It does seem to make a slight difference but it's still nowhere near "normal". Does anyone have any idea what my condition could be? I would very grateful for any advice - like I say, it's had such a negative effect on my life for years now.
Avatar f tn I looked up PMP 15 panel, and it talks about LC-MS/MS testing. Exactly what is that used for? It seems like a data base to keep track of ppl. An urinalysis, comp is already checked so is this more urine or blood? Or is it both? I just wanna know why & how it's completed. I don't u understand how liquid chromatography mass spectrum is performed.
Avatar m tn Im American but live overseas so I really appreciate any advice. About 3 months ago started having weird vibrating in chest, went to a local doctor who did an ECG and other tests, no abnormalities, blood work was good. Lately I started having bad heartburn, and kind of weird spasms,( possibly PVC's) in middle of chest exactly were ribcage meets about one a day, usually after eating or laying down. Kind of feel like I'm catching my breathe and tingles outward.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer back in February 2010. History: Prior to the diagnosis I had felt a strange pressure in my stomach occasionally which started around October 2009. I probably should have gone to the doctor when I was feeling the swelling/pressure but I thought it was just from being cramped into the Miata I had just purchased. I bought the car because some guy ran a red light and hit my previous car.
7765842 tn?1406963224 I still feel sick and was given a different tablet yesterday before leaving the hospital because these tablets are every 12 hours... pretty sure i was given them more regular than that in hospital tho.
Avatar f tn Thank you for answering!
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor who imedietly suggested it could be an ulcer and prescribed me 30mg Lansoprazole, which I took for and immediately this sensation vanished no matter what I ate.
