Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid and pepcid together

prevacid

Avatar n tn Saw GI MD 3 days ago who put me on prevacid 30mg 2x a day and pepcid 40mg at bed time for 6 weeks. Does this sound reasonable? I get concerned re the medications and side effects. Would there be any by taking both? I am also on aspirin, lipitor and synthroid.
Avatar m tn ve seen has told me to take a higher dose, and every time it does nothing), 10mg Singulair once a day, the Prevacid 30mg twice a day, and Pepcid as I need it. The symptoms become worse after meals or exercise. They are worse in the early morning or late night.
Avatar f tn That is interesting because I was taking Prevacid and also noticed an increase in PAC's. Its still to early for me to tell if that was the culprit because my Palps have a mind of their own and can last as long as a week at times. For now though I have stopped the Prevacid to see if that helps. I also take fish oil which I've heard can help palps but I've also read that they can worsen them, who knows? Keep us posted!
Avatar f tn 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?
168348 tn?1379357075 Not happy. Bad heartburn needing Prevacid .. Pepcid not working .. and what do I get .. ANXIETY from the Prevacid alongside my Synthroid. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is all I can say. Pretty annoyed at this stuff. Actually very annoyed LOL.
Avatar m tn If so are H2 meds like Pepcid and Zantac ok, or are PPI meds like Prilosec and Prevacid better? Thanks and have a great day!
Avatar f tn I'm about 17 weeks in and iI must say that this indigestion, acid reflux, and constipation is becoming unbearable! I've tried what I can to relieve these symptoms as best as possible, but man oh man is it annoying. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to alleviate severe acid reflux? I cannot consume a single thing without feeling it for hours. Chamomile helped for a minute and so did milk and the occasional apple, but none of those remedies seem to make a difference anymore.
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 m tn I too agree it was the Protonix. I hae no experience with prevacid but have been taking pepcid nonstop to deal with the acid and it is def helping. Pepcid is in a different family then PPIs. Good Luck I really know how awful this can be and I hope you find some relief.
547002 tn?1219797376 In July i was having some swallowing problems or thought i was and they did an EGD and found nothing but a VERY tiny hiatal hernia. My stomach lining was nice and pink. I had been taking prevacid for two weeks prior to the EGD due to the trouble swallowing NOW i want to stop taking the prevacid and every time i try i get really sick. I get weak, nauseaus and for a day or two i literally go to the bathroom constantly and have loose yellow stools with stomach cramps.
Avatar f tn I tried GasX it doesnt help much. but I'm ok now after 2 days of burping.
Avatar f tn I used ibuprofen pretty often each day for about two weeks for severe pain in my hand and finger joints. I began to have chronic nausea, got off the ibuprofen, started taking Prevacid and Pepcid Complete, then Reglan per doctor's prescription. Bad side effects from Reglan--irritability, dizziness, depression,sleepiness. Got off of it. After about 4 weeks, I still have some nausea and only want to eat starches and sugars. Had gallbladder removed 6 months ago.
Avatar m tn If you could stand to lose a few pounds, lose them. Do not self-medicate with Prevacid and Zantac or Pepcid for more than 2 weeks. You need to be examined with a scope, to look down your throat, even if your saliva build-up stops. ENT and some Gastroenterology doctors do this simple examination in their offices. Thick saliva could be related to conditions in your chest as well, although you did not mention a cough or chest discomfort. You asked if this could be related to allergy.
Avatar f tn My ob prescribed me pepcid i take it in the morning and i dont have heartburn all day its a miracle for heartburb
Avatar n tn We have also tried Protonix and Prevacid without any relief. I'm almost wondering about it possibly being bile reflux. Only guessing, but she did feel relief until about 2 weeks post op. Thank you for your suggestion though.
Avatar n tn I love tums!
Avatar f tn I even get it sitting up!! This is my 2nd pregnancy and the heartburn has been exactly the same. Tiums cover the burning for about an hour then come back. And, my god it is PAINFUL :( Does anyone else have it this bad??
Avatar n tn You can take otc zantac, tums, maalox, mylanta and pepcid. If it's really bad and none of those help you can see if your doctor is ok with something like prevacid or prilosec.
Avatar n tn Previcox and Prednisone should not be given together. This combination increases the danger of gastrointestinal ulceration and other problems which can be dangerous. Benadryl should be safe, but it can rarely cause breathing problems. Prednisone can also cause increased panting. Previcox can be safely used with Tramadol (another analgesic), if the Previcox is insufficient alone. Put your dog on 5mg. of Pepcid twice daily to try and prevent GI issues. Pepcid is available over the counter.
Avatar f tn He said NO!!!! He told me that the only thing I could take was Pepcid AC and not even that if I could help it. He said all of that stuff interferes with the synthroid and the Drisdol. He's a party pooper.
Avatar n tn You learn to stay away from certain foods like soda, coffee, tea, chocolate, fatty foods and acidy foods like orange juice and tomatoes. Avoiding these things you will see a big difference in your acid reflux if that is the problem.
Avatar n tn You can try an over-the-counter medication such as Pepcid or Axid. If there's no improvement after 2 weeks, you can then try Prilosec OTC or Prevacid. If after 2 weeks there's no relief, please see your physician.
