Avatar f tn t go away for improve for that matter so I went back and was prescribed with Famotidine which proved to reduce the frequency of my reflux. 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.
709686 tn?1277432159 Esomeprazole (Nexium) is slightly different than omeprazole (Prilosec). But your body could react the same way. You could try a small amount and see. There are some combo otc drugs by Rolaids and others that have an antacid and famotidine (acid reducer). Those probably don't work as well.
Avatar f tn Hi All and Happy Holidays. I hope all are enjoying family or a little peace and quiet and a nice nap! My question is about acid controlling drugs (Prilosec), etc., and digestive enzymes while taking Harvoni. My doctor told me that I couldn't take any drugs to control acid. Really, it's the only thing I can find which is contraindicated. I have an ulcer and it can be a bit painful at times. Well, really painful at times. I'm wondering if any of you have faced a similar situation.
Avatar f tn I know I was told about Vagus Nerve 10 years ago for other referred ear pains and that was in the summary I took to the ENT. What kind of doctor would I need to see? What kind of testing?
Avatar m tn My problems have going on for about five years they started with trapped gas in my stomach and it would not come out for I would say two days and then after that I’ve been having chronic diarrhea , constipation, burning in my stomach, stomach aches and severe fatigue. I also pass gas and burp all day long. I’m bloated all the time. Especially after I eat. I Didn’t realize it was a real problem until around two years ago.
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 Nothing works, have tried omeprazole, famotidine, reglan, antacids, ranitidine, and others. My lower throat feels like it cramps and I can't breathe, then the blood and oxygen rushing to deal with that makes my heart start pounding. I am wondering: is there anything I can suggest to my doctors to look at next, or another drug I can try since the only thing that gives me relief is sublingual nitroglycerin and I go through 100 of those a month ? Thanks for ANY suggestions, I am desperate.
Avatar f tn Smoothies by tums are the only thing I tolerate. And lemonade. It's so strange. Lol but it works for me.
5609181 tn?1375332372 I take Omeprazole it helos me out so much with heartburn and acid reflux also I try not eating spicy or acidy foods which is so hard not to do lol and I try not to eat b4 bed or lay down right after I eat
Avatar m tn And it was only once then. It just happened so suddenly, I was breathing find and then I lie down and immediately begin experiencing problems. I also have terriible posture and spend 5+ hours a day using the computer, sitting not up straight in a chair, not sure if that has anything to do with it either.
Avatar f tn I take 150mg zantac and its the only thing that works for me. I have heartburn and gerd. Had it before I got pregnant. Got worse when I got pregnant. So I have to take 2 a day. One in the morning and one at night. Try not to eat and then lay down. Wait about two hours after eating to lay down. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn You will need to take a combination of medications like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into and a combination antibiotic tried. Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals.
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 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.
Avatar m tn s patients usually have low or no acid which makes me concerned about taking this. And I read about ensuring you space out when you take omeprazole. I also have low ferritin and was taking iron, which I saw online is contradicted. Does anyone have experience with taking this?
