Avatar n tn Can my mom take 40 mg of pantoprazole instead of 20 mg of teva-rabeprazole because she is out of teva-rabeprazole. It is extremely dangerous to substitute one drug for another. Your mom needs to go back to the doctor who prescribed her the teva-rabeprazole and tell him or her that her prescription is finished. The other drug you're asking if your mother should take i.e. the pantoprazole is also twice the amount of the other.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 yr old male, had a superficial duodenal ulcer in 2005, My doc had suggested Rabeprazole sodium 20mg which worked well then, he suggested i use it when ever i felt stomach burning or nausea. I have been using Rabeprazole for 5 years now, was workin good, recently my symptoms were back and i started taking 2 doses 20mg each daily.
Avatar n tn I am currently on rabeprazole for a duodenial ulcer. Not working. I used to be on Prevacid for excess stomach acid, but stopped using it when I went on the rabeprazole. I have an appt. on Monday with Dr. and hope he can find a solution. In the meantime I am unable to eat and see no relief in site. Any suggestions? I am losing my mind !!
Avatar f tn My gastro doc put me on Rabeprazole for 1 month. During this window period of 1 mth is it going to be normal and safe to experience such hardcore symptoms? Says here on my paper "Principle Diagnosis: Erosive Esophagitis" apparently he talked to me a little when I was sedated so I pretty much can't even remember holding any conversation with him. He then left the hospital so I feel quite lost here right now (I've told him my entire long story above too).
Avatar m tn Hi Please answer my query. I had sex with a prostitute. I wore a condom, after insertion she gave me ******* over condom followed by insertion in vagina. Later She gave me a ******* by removing condom. I'm worried when she gave ******* without condom later, if she is HIV then can HIV previously from condom to her mouth and then from her mouth transmit to me when she gave oral without condom. Can hiv from vaginal fluid stays in mouth or hand.
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 f tn ve said that rabeprazole helped. Rabeprazole is an anti-acid drug, not antibiotic. From this you can conclude that the problem is increased acid secretion, most probably from gastritis. There are two reasons why drugs like rabeprazole fail after some time: 1. you become resistant to it, and need higher dose 2. That H. pylori which maintains gastric inflammation.
Avatar n tn Hi All, I am a 30 year old male suffering from obssessive thoughts, I had a stomach ulcers 6 years back and i use Rabeprazole 20 mg daily as a maintenance therapy, My GP suggested escitalopram (Lexapro 10mg) daily, after 2 weeks using the medicine i feel much better and my thoughts have come down, however 2 weeks into the medication i started having severe stomach burning sensation especially in the upper stomach behind the breast bone and the center of the rib cage, i recognise its the same fee
Avatar m tn ENT did a scope of throat, said it was inflammed and swollen and suspected LPR, gave me a different PPI rabeprazole and took it for 2 weeks. Still no improvement, having throat pain only on right side. Then gastro doctor did a 24hr pH monitoring test, mannometry test and barium test on me, I was off all PPI and stomach meds for 3 weeks before doing the 24hr test. Test result came back negative for acid reflux or hyperacidity.
Avatar m tn I suffer from anxiety and stress (extreme stress). From this whole combo, what is bothering me the most right now is the fact that I have been suffocating myself with air/gas for the past year. I trap gas in my intestines, my belly gets very bloated. I also trap air inside my throat, esophagus, I can't burp. I was never able to. I often wake up not being able to breath. This only happens after i eat. At first it was a few foods, now even water does that to me.
Avatar f tn I’ve been having stomach cramps for 5 months and a burning feeling in my mouth, tongue and throat. The burning only starts after breakfast everyday and gets worse after I eat or even after sips of water. I’ve seen 2 gastroenterologists and also ENT. Gastroscope showed bile in the stomach and mild chronic gastritis, but otherwise normal. Abdominal MRI and nasal scope were normal. I was then diagnosed with IBS but they cannot find the cause of my burning mouth.
Avatar n tn I have had acidity (esophageal reflux) for ages and I take Rabeprazole 10mg every day for last 4yrs. I am not a type A guy, don't have any rigid rules/disciplines as such. In the meantime I have quit smoking, tobacco, cut down on alcohol (once a week), trying to eat healthy, not over-work etc. Is there any medication that would help? I do see lot of information on this, however my doc didn't suggest anything. Am doing ok?
Avatar m tn I am going to have to wait another 2 weeks for results and am back taking the omeprazole but my stomach is constanlty bloating up after eating. Is this a side effect of the tablets?? i have been taking these tablets 6 weeks in total but i am stil suffering severly with bloating and my stomach is constanlty rumbling. Does this sound like h pylori or does anyone else suffer sever bloating from these omeprazole tablets.
Avatar n tn I'm glad you're feeling better. The med your doctor prescribed is a PPI which is a medicine used to treat GERD/heartburn/acid reflux.
Avatar m tn Consumption is usually 2500-3000mls a day), constantly dizzy/lightheaded(hard to explain), difficulty concentrating, headache, nausea (especially in am and after eating), abdominal discomfort (usually LRQ and LLQ, in the past 2 weeks it is predominantly LUQ and RUQ), diarrhea daily until I was prescribed rabeprazole and diecetel which helps that, occasional constipation(last 2 weeks I needed to take sennakot for 1st time for relief but it left my GI system sore), decreased appetite and early sa
