Can you take protonix and zantac at the same time

Common Questions and Answers about Can you take protonix and zantac at the same time

protonix

Avatar n tn I took protonix for a long time and got the same palpitations. My research uncovered that pump inhibitors like protonx cause a magnesium deficiency and magnesium is necessary to regulate your heartbeat. I stopped taking the pills cause it said that prolonged magnesium deficiency can cause serious heart problems. Since then I take Zantac, it does next to nothing even though I take 4 maximum strengths a day, and I pop tums all day, but the heart palpitations have gone away.
Avatar f tn I am on Carafate 2 x daily, Protonix 2x daily, and a Zantac 1 at bedtime, from my gastroenterologist. I welcome any help. Thank you.

Avatar f tn Thanks Selma. Yes, I did the breath test and my 2 scopes revealed no h pylori. I've been taking the prescription 150 mg Zantac twice a day and for 3 nights slept with a wedge pillow and have felt great each day, no waking up with a sore throat! I eat small meals and always have, eating a small something every 2-3 hours and stop at 6pm. The main change is the wedge, which so far is a noticeable difference.
Avatar f tn Mine was too! I was eating at least 8 tums a day until my doctor suggested at my 28 week check up that I take Prilosec until the end of my pregnancy. I was worried at first because I didn't want to take anything that would harm my baby, but she reassured me that Prilosec & Zantac are safe during pregnancy. Zantac will help fight symptoms after the fact for up to 12 hours & Prilosec will stop symptoms before they start all day.
Avatar m tn Doctors suggested me trying to take one while under cortison injection, so I did...and again, I had the same reaction!
Avatar m tn no alcohol, does it start under the ribs on the right and radiate into the back, they will do tests for it and tell you what you need to do .
177337 tn?1310059899 When I posted I got a lot of responses that the same thing happened to others. Now I just take after-the-fact drugs like Zantac, tums, and Gaviscon. Nothing I can do. I had to decide which I hate worse. When I was on one of them I was in bigeminy for 8 weeks! I told doctors and they probably think I'm crazy, but I don't care. I KNOW what I feel.
Avatar f tn Hi, have you ever tried Zantac? Take the Zantac 150 (or two 75's) in the morning and before dinner at night, or before bed, whichever you prefer. I have had heartburn forever and I tried the prescription meds, but I feel the Zantac works the best. But 75 is not enough, make sure you take 150 mg. twice a day. Also, you can supplement it with Mylanta or Maalox liquid if it's really bad. I'm not saying this will be a miracle cure, but it's worth a try.
Avatar f tn What did all you take for heat burn and indesgestion it's that bad it's making me sick
Avatar m tn I started to go the chiropractor at about the same time I got off of the protonix, so I was thinking I would never be sure unless I got back on the protonix. I did not want to do that, because I suffered terribly for two months. I'm also wondering if I should change to maybe nexium. The pharmacist said that omaprazole is also a proton pump inhibitor, but it's not the same medicine, just in the same family. When I finally get back to my doctor I will ask him.
Avatar f tn ve dealt with heartburn throughout my pregnancy but its getting bad now. Every time I eat anything I can feel the acid bubble up!! Its so painful and frustrating...I take tums like candies when its bad but its such temporary relief...I'm lactose intolerant so milk is out of the question...any other suggestions? I'm dreading laying down for bed in a couple hours!!
Avatar n tn My Internal Medicine doctor advised the ulcer is being aggravated by the acid which is causing nausea and pain, the Zantac was not strong enough. She prescribed Protonix 40mg twice a day, I have been on that and feel great; no fatigue, no nausea, no pain! Will be on this regimen for 30 days and then slowly cut back dosage to maintenance level of 40mg once a day every other day.
221122 tn?1323011265 Hi, I was just looking at this forum just to get reassurance. I was just sitting at home and all of a sudden a whole run of PVC's I guess. Of course I started crying because I think I am going to die. I have been sick for the past year with what they thought was Epstein Barr that tweaked my thyroid. Anyway, I am so fatigued constantly, that I am sure that it is my heart and they have totally missed it. I had an echo, not stress done last year and it was good.
Avatar n tn Prevacid, Nexium, Protonix, Aciphex, Zantac, and Pepcid are all used to treat reflux. You can ask you doctor who will know best which one is least likely to cause you dizzyness.
Avatar f tn So my doctor prescribed me zantac for heartburn.. he said to take it at night and i do but everyday around 4pm my heartburn comes back.. is it ok to take it at 4pm instead of 9pm at night? Im 33 weeks pregnant..
Avatar f tn Milk curdle in you and can make it worse and even make you vomit. Dr said Zantac or pepcid is safe and take tums in between. If you take zantac once in morning and once at night it works wonders!! I swear by it. I had heartburn 5 out of 7 days in first and second trimesters. Now I have it every once in a while. Also don't lie down right after eating and eat smaller meals. Good kuck!
Avatar n tn I was reading through the studies found in the internet. I got scared of the others saying you should only take omeprazole if it outweighs the risks.
Avatar f tn My doc just prescribed me heartburn med Protonix...it is amazing ! I was having the same issues with thinking if I was taking to many tums- the heartburn was KILLING ME !!! Just ask your doc... my doc told me if this med didn't relieve my heartburn that there was another med she could prescribe. ..but the Protonix has been great. Take it once daily and I'm good to go !
Avatar n tn I have been researching to try and figure out what in the world can be done about this. I am getting some of the weight back off but am afraid it is going to come off to fast because most days I am only able to get soup down. Here are my symptoms. My food feels like it immediately gets stuck in my throat. Upon drinking carbonated mineral water and, excuse my unlady like talk, burping it feels relieved somewhat but then comes right back with the next bite. I also have the shortness of breathe.
Avatar m tn No wasnt xanax pulse was low before that maybe the other did it tho thanks tho...Nexium protonix and zantac done it. Probly I guess ill go back and see the doc even tho he told me i had a heart blockage and didnt cardiac cath after he told me my stress test was blockage and i was clear. Hmm maybe that did it caridac cath...
Avatar f tn I know supplements are difficult to get into your system for lack of acid in the stomach when you take protonix....but is it the same for iron rich foods? Would the stomach also block iron and other nutrients you get from food since it blocks supplements as well? If so, how can I take the acid reflux meds but still get the nutrients my body needs?
