prevacid

Avatar m tn i would def. take the ppi for a few months after your prevpac is done because your stomach needs time to heal, but it shouldn't take longer than that. digestive enzymes are a great idea while taking the prevpac, i took it also in jan. 09..i ate alot of yogurt and took probiotics, in fact i still take the probiotics. all your stomach issues should be reversed with the elimination of the h pylori. eat a very bland diet, high in fresh non-citrus fruits, that is easy on stomach also.
619150 tn?1247048274 It lingered at around 195 for awhile when I was feeling better. Now I am down to 188. Is this normal? I am sure I could find the answer looking around but reading others post puts too much into my already anxious mind. Also since the said procedures and finishing the PrevPac, I feel the "acid" inside my stomach. Also you can hear it as if a belly growl when hungry. Is that normal of Gastritis?
Avatar n tn I feel the antibiotic company is getting a good sum of money. Lots of human being are taken this Prevpac treatment. Accordingly to them it works but why it keeps coming back.
Avatar f tn The doctor prescribed Prevpac. This medicine is very strong and always have bad taste in my mouth. Now I have been taking this medicine for five days. I still feel pain in the stomach especially in the early morning time close to 5 am. My question is if I am having pain due to the bacteria then by taking this medicne when should I start feeling comfortable. Could it be I have some other condition?
Avatar m tn I am 32 yrs old and suffering from upper left rib cage quardrant/abominal pain for 2 months. The pain is not related to what I eat and does not feel on phyical examination. But the dull pain comes/intensity increases by sitting or laying back. I dont feel the pain when I walk or do exercise. Have been visiting GI for 2 months and performed following tests: Endoscopy - Normal - Found h pylori bacteria and mild gastritis. Having been taking Nexium for 2 months. No changes in pain.
Avatar n tn Hello and thanks for all the great info on this site, it has been very helpful. 3 months ago I had unprotected sex with a female stripper at a gentlemen’s club. I did not ask her if she had any STD’s/HIV but since then I have had some symptoms that worry me so I went and got HIV tested. I am currently waiting for the results of the HIV test but of course I am sitting here all stressed out on what the results will be!
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 n tn My husband started on 14 days of prevpac 4 days ago and is now experiencing extreme lack of energy and tiredness--very hard for him to get up in the a.m. and he is exhausted by 2 or 3 p.m. Could this be a side effect of the drugs?

519575 tn?1212079035 I just started my 2 week dosage 3 days ago! Each time I take the 4 pills I do get a lil' nauseated..but nothing tooo bad! But my main problem is that I have this AWFUL metal taste in my mouth! And the more meds I take the worse and stronger the taste gets. Is there anything I can do to lessen this?? Just that awful taste makes me very sick to my stomach! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Avatar n tn Stomach ulcers are caused by the bacteria h.pylori. There is a combination of antibiotics that has a good chance of curing the infection. They are usually sold as "PrevPac" and you take them for 10-14 days, depending on what your doctor says. However, stomach pain is not always caused by an ulcer. Antibiotics will not help with other causes, and could possibly even make your stomach pain worse. Be sure to talk to your doctor.
Avatar m tn Yea, I hear ya. Am taking a prevpac which is a combo design specifically for this issue. 2 antibiotics from different classes as well as a PPI.
Avatar m tn I had gasteritus but I finished my pills (prevpac). I have tightness in my left shoulder and it has a little lumb on the bottom of the shoulder. I have discomfort in my whole body and cant find relief.
Avatar m tn About a month ago I was prescribed a course of Clarithromycin for a skin infection. Since taking the drug I've suffered huge surges of adrenaline, which kicks in like a lighting shot at the point of sleep. It kept me away many nights and I was beside myself with worry. It's now more than three weeks since I stopped the medication (I only completed 2.5 days out of 7) and I find that the adrenaline surges have subsided somewhat.
Avatar n tn My wife has what appears to be a digestive problem. She has suffered with it now for four months. We are on our second gastrointerologist without relief. Her symptoms are as follows: 1. Burning sensation and pain in the sternum area. The burning and pain comes and goes but is occurring frequently. 2. Burning sensation rising from the sternum area up the esophagus to her neck. However there is not regurgitation of stomach acid. 3. Constant metallic/bitter taste in her mouth. 4.
