zantac antihistamine

Many doctors do require their patients to go off H2 blockers (a specific type of antihistamine. H2 blockers inclue Zantac (ranitidine) and Pepcid. I cannot recall the chemical in Pepcid at the moment. Another questionable med is Elavil (amitriptyline). It is an antidepressant but has some antihistamine qualities. Every doctor is different on these meds. Many don't want to cause issues with going off of these meds.

I have been treated with 5-6 different topical creams, foams, in conjunction with prednisone, zantac, and another med. The itchiness goes away but comes back at least once a month and does not go away for at least a week. My face gets red, blotchy, itchy, hot, it becomes dry at times, and the bumps below my ears. I've been to my dermatologists many times, he has tried many things but it does not provide a permanent relief. I have not had this problem until about 2 years ago.

How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

I ran out of the 75 mg of zantac but I have equate 150 mg its the same thing as zantac but just the.generic brand. Is it ok to take that?

Has anyone ever taken Zantac? My doctor told me to take that everyday instead of taking tums b/c they are pointless, but I kinda don't wanna take medicine.

Has anyone taken zantac during pregnancy for heartburn? I'm 22+5 and have heartburn almost every other day. Sometimes it's so bad that I just want to sleep so i don't feel it.

I have the same condition. My general doctor referred me to an allergist/immunologist, and I was told that I have autoimmune urticaria (hives). I was prescribed an antihistamine (Zyrtec), Zantac75 (an antacid that also has "alpha blocker" properties), and Doxepin (an antidepressant that also has "alpha blocker" properties. Over time, I stopped taking the Zyrtec and Zantac. Now I am only taking the Doxepin. This seems to control everything pretty well.

This helped a little for a while but now the scratchy throat has returned. At the advice of a pharmacist, I was told to try Zantac, not everyday but I have tried it for the past 72 hours and I'm going to not take it tomorrow since it's not good to mix two acid blockers. But nothing is helping. I'm so exasperated from this, it's untolerable. Please help, I need some advice. What has worked for you.

It more commonly affects women and may occur alone or in association with other forms of urticaria. Antihistamine medications may help provide relief. Unfortunately, the cause is unknown. (ref: http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/GARD/QnASelected.aspx?diseaseID=10901) If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor or be referred to a dermatologist. Take care and do keep us posted.

If you know that you can safely take the OTC meds benadryl as well as either zantac or tagamet, you might try that just to see if it helps. This would be combining an h1 antihistamine (benadryl) with an h2 antihistamine (either of the two "stomach" meds I listed), and is sort of a one-two punch for certain types of allergic responses.

not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?

Hi Meg Whatever the reason for the hives you must get it seen to and at the very last take some antihistamine. You are "hiving" such a tough time at the moment so allow yourself to wallow and get all the sympathy and help you can. BUT please get checked out to this allergic reaction..you cannot be too careful and I hope that Dr C has some answers. Hope you are not itchy as well.

Chances are that the antihistamine was a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. Many protein based allergens (bee/wasp stings, etc.) seem to trigger histamine H2 responses. Since Copaxone is a copolymer, histamine H1-receptor antagonist may not work well. The histamine H2-receptor antagonists, like cimetidine (Tagamet) or ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid) might actually work better. I know, it sounds goofy, but the histamine response causes the acid pumps in the stomach to turn on.

I then ask why if it would cause a false positive for benzo or because like soma it to od on methadone with that and she would not tell me so I was wondering if any of you may know anything, I am just wanting to find something that will help my tummy. I eat zantac like crazy 3 or 4 150mg a day. But anywho I hope everyone is well take care stay strong and God Bless.

Does anyone know if you can take Zantac 75 during your first trimester for heartburn? I took it with my first pregnancy, but it was a lot later in the pregnancy. I am dying here, and need a fix.

I have good luck with a combination of Zyrtek and Zantac. Evidently the combination of the over the counter stomach med Zantac with an antihistimine like Zyrtek is quite a successful combination for allergic reactions, etc. My doc suggested this combination for me once Benadryl stopped helping. I'm doing good with the Zyrtek/Zantac.

I have tried benadryl, zyrtec, claritin, chlor-trimeton, zantac (in combo with an antihistamine), allegra, hydroxyzine, doxepin, xyzal, and prednisone. I have even tried homeopathic medicines. None of these are effective in taking the itch away except prednisone which I obviously can't take long term. I am wondering if anyone has an effective combination that they would recommend.

What kind were you taking?
