Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec every other day

prilosec

Avatar n tn If you are taking no other medications it could very well be the prilosec making you feel ill. One side effect is feeling sick to your stomach. You said, you could have an ulcer, were you actually tested to see if you do have one? It is now known that many ulcers are caused by H-pylori which can be treated with an antibiotic. Your bruising could be caused by a lack of vit. C and tiredness by a lack of B, A, D vitamins and perhaps iron too.
Avatar f tn He gave me Prilosec, and I started eating paleo which helped but is so hard to keep up with. Does anyone else have nausea all day every day? I used to smoke MJ all day every day for the pain, but that has stopped working. I am making an appointment with a homeopathic doctor today, anyone had luck with that? This is ruining my life.
Avatar f tn Having sex every other day is a good way to help conceive faster. It gives the sperm time to build up so he'll have a higher down count when you guys have sex.
Avatar f tn Hi. Thanks for the response. I am taking Prilosec 20mg 2x a day as my doctor thought it was GERD. The Acid Reflux has nearly completely gone away but the nausea is still there after I eat and at night. So frustrated.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 I started my cycle at 13 I've been on the pill to help with my severe cramps and around January 2012 I had a break through period that should have not been there I went to the ob gyn and they said I was still developing and it should be fine, but it never fixed itself from then to now I've been on depo which didn't work, estradiol, and the implanon, which all have not worked. I have been bleeding every day or every other day out of the year.
1654177 tn?1319838494 It is over the counter, and I usually take it every 6 - 9 moths, to keep indigestion from occuring. I took my last 2 week course of Prilosec OTC in March, and I am staring to experience heart burn / GERD again. I have my Pagysys and Ribivirin in hand, and I will do my first injection on 9/16. Has anyone else taken Prilosec OTC during TX, I don't want it to interfere with the TX.
Avatar f tn I just saw your post. I take 50 mcg's of synthroid every other day and I feel like a million bucks after doing so. I did it on my own because I felt and looked like **** when taking it everyday. I skip the medicine entirely every other day. It's a mistake to take two different doses every other day. Just stick with one dose every other day and give your body a total rest from the medicine every other day. I don't know why it works but it works.
Avatar m tn i have a 2 yr old little girl who has been having loose stools every other day for the past few months. the frequency is normal (1-3 x's)per day but its starting to worry me. She is not weak or anything, infact she is full of energy but im starting to get a little worried.
Avatar f tn While on the Prilosec (and before) I had diarrhea and loose stools every day. Being as I was having that before, I never attributed it to the Prilosec but now I'm questioning whether or not the Prilosec contributed to the loose bowel movements as I am now back on Prilosec and am having loose stools once again. For the past 3 weeks, without Prilosec, I've had normal stools and since yesterday (the first day back on it) I've had loose stools again.
467797 tn?1216211257 I even had solid black stool for 2 weeks in which my GI promptly sent me in for a blood test but everything was fine. He also increased my Prilosec to twice a day because I was having left sided stomach pain and burning. I'm now back down to 1 Prilosec a day and my black stool resolved itself and the pain went away. But, for the past month my stool has been yellowish in color but other than slight nausea I have no other symptoms.
1806721 tn?1554333407 I found when I got the the stage where I was taking my GERD meds every other day, on the day I was not taking it, I took the probiotics and slowly added the probiotics and took away the GERD meds....this was with my Drs help....so do seek this help from them.
Avatar n tn Entecavir is very expensive in Philippines. Can I take it every other day? Or Can I split it to half?
Avatar m tn Anyone know whether it is okay to take levothyroxine every other day? I am prescribed 75 mg for hypothyroidism, but due to insurance I decided to take levothyroxine every other day and 6 months later my blood test showed that my thyroid levels were...normal. How can this be?? In fact, I really have not felt any side effects from this decreased dosage.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I have variable pain day to day. Almost like clock work it is low one day, moderate or high the next, low, moderate until after I haven't injured myself for a while then it startst to level off. I did notice that when I took either Tylenol or Celebrex on the bad day it started to break the cycle. Any suggestions or has anyone seen this?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take every other day. I find that it does help my depression when I take it this way but I am not sure if it is going to cause more problems by taking it this way. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn I pretty much spit frothy saliva every few minutes all day and all night. It is getting really bothersome.
221122 tn?1323011265 Well, you guys know that my PVCs are back. I take fish oil and Cal/Mg. They were gone for so long that it was very nice.....mmmm. THEN they came back. Anyway, I noticed that it was about a week after I started taking Prilosec every day. Then I didn't take it for a day or two and they got a lot better. I took it again....back. Stopped...they calmed. Yesterday I didn't take it and I had a decent day. I am going to ride this one out.
Avatar f tn Hi, If it is due to GERD Prilosec (PPI) even once a day taken empty stomach in the morning would work the whole day. Sometimes twice a day dose may be required. If there is no response with PPI , the diagnose has to be confirmed with 24 hours pH monitoring test. ================================================================ The information provided is for patients’ education only and is not a medical advice.
679466 tn?1247006054 He gave me a bunch of Prilosec samples - told me it was better to take Prilosec every day then Nexium. I said, "really?" He recommended i set up an appointment with a Gastro care Doc. So mayble i'll start taking the Prilosec instead of the Nexium, especially if it works just as well. Do we have confirmation that Prilosec long-term is better (healthier) than taking Nexium long-term? Or is that uncertain?
Avatar m tn Ok I wish you well and I hope you find some answers. Like I said the description of this condition doesn't sound anything like the problems it was causing me either because I didn't have blood clots. I still had severe compression of the iliac vein causing extreme fatigue and anxiety and every other problem most doctors don't know this condition can cause.
Avatar f tn Is it okay to take Prilosec? They said Zantac was okay, but not to take Prevacid. I bought Prilosec and want your opinions on it.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your quick response! I am so glad that your husband found relief from Prilosec. What PPI did they have him on before the Prilosec? I'm just curious if it was Nexium. Thanks again for your suggestion!
Avatar n tn As advertised, Prilosec can take 4 days to work because it is very slow acting, therefore, another alternative is to take OTC 20mg every other day. If recommended by a Dr., Prilosec can be safely taken for years.
1943416 tn?1324166761 I been taken prilosec otc for 14 days for heart burn.its the best med out there.so i finished the 14 day trial and i dont have heart burn any more but i still feel a little small burn so i asked a pharmacyst if its safe to take more than 14 days she said yes it is but the resson the box sais to consult a doctor is to make sure its not self medicated .
Avatar f tn m 8 1/2 weeks with #2 and have heartburn pretty bad... I had to take prilosec already 1x... usually I can take it every 2 or 3 days and it'll work well... but when It gets bad I have to take it everyday. It won't really hurt baby. :) I'm eating tums like candy... at least I'm getting my calcium!
1397702 tn?1280927591 I have been having periods every other month, which the doc would like it to come every month for only 7 days. But I would say to call the doc on monday, and see if they can see you. It is not normal to have periods for longer then 7 days. But everyone is different! Call monday morning, and share ur concerns! SSBD to you!
Avatar m tn I understand taking 50mg of iron a day is far too much and can lead to toxicity, but would it be healthy to take one every other day with breakfast? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have it really bad and have to take Prilosec every night before bed, it would wake me up during the night and I've throne up a couple times because of it, since I started taking Prilosec it's been gone and I'm super thankful!!
