Avatar f tn Famotidine is Pepcid which works in the same way that Zantac works...I didn't have much luck on Zantac so now I'm on Prilosec and it works wonderfully...but famotidine is considered safer for pregnancy then prilosec...
Avatar m tn Famotidine blocks the action of histamine on stomach cells, and reduces stomach acid production. Famotidine is useful in promoting the healing of stomach and duodenal ulcers and in reducing ulcer pain. Famotidine has been effective in preventing recurrence of ulcers when given in low doses for prolonged periods of time.
Avatar m tn Compared to the rest of the patients, those who received famotidine (the active ingredient in Pepcid) had a greater than 2-fold decreased risk of either dying or being intubated," according to a statement by authors of the study at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Avatar m tn Her lung X-rays show a lot of white where it should be black and her look very and spleen were swollen. Her vet gave me Doxycycline 100 mg and Famotidine 10 mg until her test results came back. Her appetite is good, she is drinking water, has lost weight and is having BM's and is urinating. She is still mobile but for the most part lays near me wherever I am. Her vet mentioned steroids to me. My question is will they help her feel better or just cause her more problems.
Avatar m tn I'm a 32 year old male, 6'5", 225 lbs and in decent shape. For the past month and a half I've had this pressure in my head and behind my eyes, made worse by drinking caffeine, and it's become very painful/irritating to stare at a computer or phone screen for too long. It's like this expanding pressure in the center of my head and behind my eyes. I'm not dizzy, and it's not exactly "pain", but aspirin/motrin/tylenol don't seem to help it.
Avatar m tn 1) Famotidine – I don’t know what it does but it helps. 2) Rice porridge – help a lot, actually it instantly eliminate the pain, I have herd that some call in Congi and that it is very familiar in the Chinese medicine. My questions are: 1) How those 2 things help ? 2) Is there any risk with the use of Famotidine for long time ? I would be pleased for more information from experience.

975357 tn?1252704723 I stopped all my h1 blockers (zyrtec, benadryl etc.) but I stupidly continued to take my pepcid (famotidine) and forgot that this is also in the class of antihistamines known as h2 blockers (includes tagamet, pepcid, zantac etc.) Since the receptionist didn't specify and I didn't use by brain lol, is this going to affect my test results in any way, and is it still worth going? my appointment is at 9am its 6am now and I dont want to drive 40 miles if its going to be pointless.

1916673 tn?1420233270 Azodyl is basically a pro-biotic, and just as in humans, it can help the digestive system settle down and work more efficiently. Famotidine is basically the same as Pepcid, and calms acid-reflux and has virtually no contraindication reports of reacting with any other drugs used in combination. I think therefore both medications should be very beneficial. It's nice to hear Darbie is contented - you are doing a fantastic job with her.
Avatar f tn She was prescribed aluminum hydroxide, pet tinic, and famotidine daily, as well as subq fluids 100mL every other day. She responded well to this treatment for over a year, but this past week she has progressively lost interest in food, then water, and now is so lethargic she only wants to lie and sleep. I took her to the vet and her prognosis is not good. She is severely anemic, and has developed ulcers in her mouth due to the uric acid buildup and has a very strong odor in her mouth.
Avatar f tn I'm 26 weeks and have heart burn every night now. What's a good way to help with that?
Avatar f tn When I was on Omeprazole, I was experiencing reflux a few times a day. But Famotidine and a very, small lunch helped reduce that to mild reflux once after dinner daily. I continued taking Famotidine for 2mths until my scheduled Gastroscopy which was performed 2 days ago. I've just started on Pariet (Rabeprazol Sodium 20mg), once daily. (Very, very expensive medicine. 6x more expensive than taking 3x Omeprazole daily.
Avatar f tn Your doctor can recommend something for comfort. Mine recommended Famotidine (Pepsid) and it really seems to help. I take one 20 mins before breakfast and 20 mins before dinner.

Avatar n tn I have a heartburn too but the doctor gave this medicine famotidine whenever I take that medicine I feel better...
Avatar n tn Doxycycline 100 mgm by mouth twice/day for 6 weeks and then once/day for 3-6 months is a common treatment of blepharitis and meibomian gland disease. It is not so much antibacterial as antiinflammatory and gets into the oild gland. That's the reason its also used for acne. There is a new product that is specific for blepharitis but I don't have the details or brand name. None of these cause floaters.
Avatar m tn instead, i juz told her my prob and she diagnosed me wif oesophagus reflux(side effect of doxycycline) meanin the acid in my stomach traveled up to my esophagus causing irritation and prescibe me wif anacid. i read somewhere that if i were to take doxycycline, i must not take anacid because it will lessen the effectiveness of doxycycline. so, now i'm at a lost again..
Avatar n tn I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics? Thanks.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone had low dose doxycycline (50mg) used for rosacea or used any antibiotic and got severe vertigo 40 minutes after taking it? I had dizzyness then vertigo and my right ear went deaf then I almost fell but my husband caught me and I got nauseated, tired and cold. It only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. I have been sore from almost falling and jerking myself and tired all day.
Avatar m tn either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated. I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.
Avatar f tn Does it occur when you're breathing? Are you short of breath?
984138 tn?1359813073 I'm not an MD and not medically trained, but to my knowledge, doxycycline would not treat a yeast infection. Doxy is an antibiotic that treats only bacteria (including Lyme), not yeast (which is in the fungus family). In addition, antibiotics wipe out not only 'bad' bacteria but also the 'good' bacteria that protect your body against fungal infections. It may be that the receptionist at the MD's office got things confused. I would check to be sure.
Avatar m tn Hello, Difficulty urinating in males can be due to urinary retention which can be due to enlarged prostate due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (often called BPH) or infection of the prostate( prostatitis), any blockage in the flow of urine like any scar tissue, injury (as in a car wreck or bad fall), blood clots, infection, tumors in the pelvic region, and stones, infection or due to disruption of the delicate and complex system of nerves that connects the urinary tract with the brain and the ne
