kapidex

Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with acid reflux, after an endoscopy that showed some gastritis and inflammation in my esophagus and a clean ultrasound. I've tried different medicines and the only one I've found so far that lets me live relatively pain-free is Kapidex. I took a free trial of it for 10 days, during which time I helped, but then went back off of it for a week (trying a different, cheaper medicine) before going back on it.
Avatar m tn Also, I recently heard about Kapidex. Is this significantly better than the others out there (including the Nexium I am on) or should I stick with the Nexium?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your comments. Does the Motilium help you at all? I just started it, and I can't take the prescribed 4 pills a day, because about 1/2 hr. after I take one, I am in the bathroom and can't leave the house, so, I guess they are working really well for me! My acid reflux is much better, I used to take twice the dosage of the med I'm on, but now I'm down to the regular dosage of just one a day.
Avatar n tn i have been diagnosed with gerd and a hiata hernia i am a black female 5ft2 and 233 pounds i have been on five different prescriptions currently i am on 60 mg of kapidex i have been losing weight and losing my appetite sometimes the kapidex gives me relief sometimes it doesn't what can i do for relief when it doesn't work? and how far can acid reflux travel.
Avatar f tn ve never tried Domperidone, but the only meds that helped me were Nexium or Kapidex taken twice daily. I tried prevacid and it was very brief because it just didn't work for me :( Also, I use to take one Kapidex/Nexium PLUS some Amitriplyn, but I knocked the amitriplyn out of my regimen. Either way, it offered more good days then bad.
Avatar f tn Went to my Dr and she said it was Gastritis and put me on Kapidex 2x a day for 3 days and then once a day thereafter. The next day my lower back has starting hurting. I went in on Tuesday for pain in the back and she prescribed naxoprene and a muscle relaxer. The pain went away once from the pain medicine and now does nothing. I've been having bouts of diarrhea and then constipation also. Today my back pain is excrutiating and the past two days my stools have been dark brown/black.
666921 tn?1254990618 I do know that the LLMD prescribed me Kapidex and it may one of the reasons I am not having heartburn. Usually these medicines give me bad gastric problems, but so far it's been not great, but not painful either. You may want to ask if you can get Kapidex.
Avatar m tn They found that i have a hiatial hernia as well as a weak les sphincter. Anyways my GI doctor put me on kapidex after followup. I prefer kapidex to protonix and i was doing pretty good until this morning when i had a random bout of nausea. Luckily i had some phenegren left so i took it and got better. I have already bought the special pillow that raises my head while sleeping and i think has really helped me.
Avatar n tn I switched to taking tums multiple times a day, which worked for a couple months and then stopped. I tried Kapidex which also worked perfectly for about 3 months and then completely stopped working. Zantac worked for about a month and is now subsiding. My doctor has added carafate, but the pains are still not gone. They usually come when I haven't eaten for a while and let myself get hungry at all. I try to eat every 2-3 hours but am not always able to.
Avatar f tn I am afraid to eat other things. What an I do. I am taking Kapidex and take giner tea. I also take anxiety meds just because of this feelings in my throat.
Avatar m tn Could be some gall bladder pain, dont eat late stick to low fat meals , it could also be a pulled muscle if you have started weight training ..
Avatar f tn I have begun to lose weight (so far just 12 pounds in 2 months) because the heartburn is so bad it makes me sick. Ive tried all the meds with little relief, now taking kapidex twice daily. Anyone with any info please reply as Ive read alot of horror stories. Also if you had the surgery did you have a ng tube when coming out of surgery??
Avatar n tn I have tried prevacid, nexium, and kapidex. I still have the constant burning in chest and lump in throat feeling?
Avatar f tn I have been on that but it didn't work that great after a while. Kapidex or previcid works. Liquid carafete helps to.
Avatar m tn Thanks Selma I am taking Kapidex 60mg, I was taking previously prev acid once in the morning and once at night didnt work, then I wnt with Protonix, Kapidex is supposed to be a new med but doesnt seem to work. the dr says I may have a very sensitive esophagus that is why I feel everthing all the time. Is there such a thing as having a sensitive esopahgus that feels everything without the damage?
Avatar n tn thanks. iv tried every medicine there is to try. im currently on kapidex. it has helped with the acid but the pain is still there. they told me i have a motility issue. iv lost so much weight because its hard to eat any food. it is basically ruining my marriage because he can not understand what is actually going on. he has been there for me but i think he is getting tired.
Avatar f tn Said I was still swollen quite a bit and the issues would subside when the swelling went down, which could take 6 months or more to get me back to normal. Prescribed a kapidex per day and 300 mgs zantac.....I have to watch EVERYTHING I eat.....anything scratchy iritates my esoph, plus I sometimes feel like it's swollen in there........agree? Should I get a second opinion?
1243333 tn?1296446902 5 years ago I was diagnosed with GERD, about a year ago, had a endoscopic procedure where they dilated the esophagus and I just had it dilated again, have been told that I have serve esophagitis and gastritis, I take kapidex 60mg twice a day along with Carafate and reglan, could the Gerd be what is causing the esophagus to narrow and what other complications could I end up with if this continues. At this point I always have a sore throat. and the medications only keep the reflux at bay.
645390 tn?1338555377 Do you think that maybe she misunderstood you? I'm on Copaxone and it cost about the same price. My copay is $15.00/month, my insurance covers the rest. I would call your insurance company and ask them how much it will be. If your insurance doesn't deal with shared solutions try calling Pression RX.
Avatar m tn The medications that I take for my stomach are , Kapidex, Carafate , Bentyl and I recently purchased Alkaline drops online. I have a host of other medical conditions that I take prescriptions for also. These include Albuterol, Flovent, Combivent, Spiriva, lasix, Diamox , Clariten and Nasonex. I follow a strict diet, no fatty , greasy, fried ,alcoholic or dairy. I elevate my head in bed and lay on my left side.

Please help will I always have this???
Avatar f tn Hi- I have taken Zegerid and found it to be the best of GERD/acid-reflux med's. They all do take some time, but for me it's the best by a good margin, with Kapidex/Prevacid second. My insurance co. doesn't cover Zegerid as well as they cover Prevacid, but my doctor calls it the "Rolls Royce" of stomach meds.
Avatar n tn So the regiment is Kapidex (60 mgs. daily), Zantac (300 mgs. daily) and the Carafate. Hope it works. Will speak to her next week about the tests you mentioned. Thanks for your suggestions!
1005642 tn?1286907158 But, I was on Nexium for 8 months and just got switched to Kapidex. I was starting to have significant s/e from the Nexium that seemed totally unrelated to taking a darn stomach pill. Could be the Nexium. Could be anything. Could be nothing but more than a heart hiccup. If you've been checked out thoroughly, try to relax. I know how hard that is because sometimes I don't take my own advice. I've decided PVC's aren't going to rule me anymore.
Avatar f tn I have a 36 yr. old handicapped son. Four years ago, he had a ruptured appendix. Was in the hospital for 5 wks. - finally got better - took about a year to gain his weight back. A year ago he was diagnosed with GERD. He's been on Nexium and recently, 3-4 months Kapidex. For a while, he didn't complain about pain. Three weeks ago he started to complain again, but now the pain is a little lower.
