omeprazole and pepcid

My doc told me to use tums and pepcid. Also benadryl is very effective for anxiety in pregnancy and was recommended to me by doc, helped me a lot, only took when i needed to.

I was taking a prescription (omeprazole) to control my severe reflux(GERD) before I found out I was pregnant. My primary doctor suggested I stop taking it until my first appt with OB( 1/27) to see what she suggests. My reflux is severe and I don't want to keep taking Pepcid and tums like crazy. Has anyone else had this before pregnancy and what were you given to take that was safe?

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.

Anyone taking Omeprazole? Does it work? Nothing has stayed down for two days and it hurts after I eat. It hurts not to eat. Has anyone been successful on this Med??

Last night, as the burning started in my throat, I took a Pepcid instead of a second omeprazole. I was able to sleep without a burning throat. I have sent my doc an email asking if I can continue to supplement with the Pepcid instead. I'm not sure the omeprazole is working for me.

The prescription form od Pepcid AC is Omeprazole and it can be extremely helpful for treating and calming down digestive issues. Good luck!

I had been having acid reflux for a few weeks, and last week I woke up after rolling over on my stomach during the night with acid burning my esophagus. A doctor perscribed me Nexium, but since my insurance wouldn't cover it, I started taking over the counter Omeprazole instead. The very next day I woke up with stomach pain and cramps at around the same time I had the acid reflux the previous night.

I'm 32 weeks and have been having the worst acid reflux and heart burn. I told my Midwife and she said Prilosec I think or it could've been Pepcid. I forgot and am not sure which one. Does anyone know?

No answers? I again woke up this morning with horrible nausea, stomach ache and bloating. Didn't take the Prozac today. Took Omeprazole then Pepto Bismol twice and my Xanax, 1/2 pill. Now, my mouth is extremely dry. The doctor had given me Carafate and I finally broke down and used some. After almost 2 hours, not much improvement, mouth drier and now getting a headache. Ideas?

I tried GasX it doesnt help much. but I'm ok now after 2 days of burping.

The doctor told me Pepcid or Zantac. It worked for a lot of my friends but not me. Milk actually worked though.

In October I had a burning pain under my breast bone and started burping after eating. Went to urgent care and doctor prescribed me omeprazole. Took it for two weeks and everything went away. The week of Thanksgiving the pain started to come back and then I had heartburn that lasted for 4 days. Back on the omeprazole. After a week and a half it didn't work so I went to the ER and they prescribed me protonix. I had an ultrasound of my upper GI and it showed nothing.

It seems that extended use is supposedly not harmful to the body. I take a 20mg tablet daily and I can function fully and eat and drink absolutely anything as long as I have had the capsule. I soon know about it if I forget to take it! That seldom happens I assure you. My question is: I have at least one bowel movement daily - usually after I get up in the morning. My stools are always loose and certainly smell very bad (so my wife assures me!).

The short answer to all those is yes, it can. It can also be a number of other issues, so a trip to the doctor is recommended. In the meantime, try taking an antacid to help with any possible acid problems. Omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) would be the hammer here, but it might be too much of a good thing. Try first Gaviscon (or something with alginic acid). If that doesn't work, Try something like Pepcid Complete (H2-inhibitor + acid neutralizer).

Get off the omeprazole try h2 instead like pepcid took care ofcramps and pain digestion improved ppi cause nutrint issues and sibo good luck

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.

If it quits working then switch off of the H2 Antagonist drugs (zantac, pepcid etc) and go to the PPI (omeprazole etc) as they are much stronger and instead of reducing stomach acid they turn it off altogether.

My Dr. prescribed me Pepcid because my heartburn is so severe It is causing extreme nausea. It was so bad I thought I had the stomach flu. Anyhow the only one the store had was the maximum strength. The Pharmacist said it was ok. Anyone else take this?

The reason I start out in the Gastro area is because I’ve been on omeprazole for about seven years. Every time I try and cut back, using Tumms as well as OTC anti acid It’s not working. I’m having horrendous heartburn. And then I just give up and take my omeprazole so at least I can get comfortable. I’ve been trying this off and on for six months I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere. I wouldn’t of even known about this had I not found out I was so deficient in vitamins.

I've been taking Tums, Pepto and Pepcid since the symptoms started. They seem to help with the pain but now I'm constantly hungry. Is that also a symptom of ulcers or gastritis?

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.

Started it a few days ago and, again, waking up in the mornings with an upset stomach. Switched back to the Pepcid and was better. Today, again trying the Omeprazole to see if I have problems. No way to tell unless I try it again. My mouth and throat have not been as bad for 3 days but my bad days definitely seem to cycle. I have stopped snacking at night. I seldom ever use a drug in the NSAID class. Actually, my PCP told me to take Baby Aspirin but I stopped that some time ago.

I'm 24 weeka tomorrow and ive had major heartburn since about 20 weeks. I've tried everything I can think to help it lol, any other suggestions?? NO tums or any safe meds help.

I am currently on omeprazole AND ranitidine at the same time and it hasn't even touched my acid reflux in the slightest, either of them, so my Dad has paid for me to go private next week cos I am pregnant an really suffering at the moment.

Now I have the most horrible heartburn for the last 3 days that nothing relieves for long. A horrible burning in my esophagus and my throat. Pepcid which usually takes care of any heartburn symptons I have ever had, is not even touching it. I cant eat, and it feels as if I have been blown up with air. What could be causing these symtons?

Smoothies by tums are the only thing I tolerate. And lemonade. It's so strange. Lol but it works for me.
