Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec with magnesium

prilosec

Avatar n tn It appears that this drawback is found with use of all proton pump inhibitors. You may want to discuss the problem with your doctor.
Avatar f tn Try magnesium taurate, or Magnesium Glycinate. These are much easier to break down and digest than magnesium oxide. I love Magnesium Glycinate, it's been a life saver. I get it from amazon.
Avatar n tn The active components in Nexium are esomprazole magnesium and in Prilosec are Omeprazole Magnesium. Also, Nexium comes in 20 mg and 40 mg capsules and Prilosec is sold over the counter in 20 mg tablets. My GI switched me to Nexium because Aciphex gave me terrible side effects and Protonix made my water brash symptoms ever worse. I have tried Prilosec in the past and it didn't have much of an effect for me.
Avatar m tn It has been found that 4 out of 5 people in the US (or 80%) are deficient in magnesium. If you are experiencing 2 or 3 of the following symptoms, you probably are one of them.
Avatar f tn She had one incident for a few days where she experienced heartburn and a few other times the nausea was accompanied with abdominal pains. Most of the time she just experiences nausea. I took her to the pediatrician. He prescribed prilosec. She has taken it for two weeks now. She thinks the nausea may have lessened but she is still experiencing it. How long should she stay on this and if she still experiences the symptoms should I bring her to a GI specialist?
221122 tn?1323011265 I too have suspected that Prilosec has something to do with my PVC's. Of course when you are getting hammered with PVC's, you're likely to suspect anything and everything. When your heart starts acting up, I suppose it's a natural instinct to get off your medicines and supplements. Nevertheless, I have made a pretty strong corelation between Prilosec and increased PVC's. I'm not 100% certain, but not far from it.
Avatar f tn I've been ailing from GI issues for about 3-4 years. It began with about 2 years of burping/belching all the time. Especially after I ate. Eventually just drinking a glass of water would cause a half an hour of bloating and belching. This eventually got worse about 1.5 years ago when on top of the bloating I had acid reflux from whatever I ate or drank. I got this under control with prilosec and took it for about 4-5 months.
Avatar f tn Went on Prilosec for 3 months which helped but I started getting terrible leg cramps at night and read that Prilosec can deplete the magnesium in your body and cause cramps. I also started to get cramps in my hands during the day so I stopped the Prilosec, started taking Magnesium Citrate 3X a day and eating a banana before going to bed. The cramps are mostly gone. Instead of getting them from 2:30 on I now just get one around 7 and just get up and stay up. But, now my nausea is back.
Avatar n tn I agree with jrbon and just want to add, I think it's unlikely you can handle the problem by simply adding a magnesium supplement, since your blood pressure has always been low. Adding magnesium could tend to make the blood pressure drop even more. Hopefully there will be other ways, besides taking Nexium, that your acid reflux symptoms can be addressed. FWIW, I was on Prilosec for years, finally had to stop because of the side effects, and now am off of it with no problems.
Avatar n tn prilosec, nexium) is magnesium deficiency. Constipation, anxiety, depression, IBS are just a few of the many symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Check out the article: How your antacid drug is making you sick (Part A) by Chris Kresser.
19024797 tn?1471291132 I'm taking 6,000 IU of Vitamin D daily and have read many articles on how Magnesium and Vitamin K all work together in the process of absorbing Vitamin D and visa vera...but when my doctor but me on Vitamin D he didn't mention supplementing with Magnesium or Vitamin K. Do I really need to take all three? or can I just take Vitamin D?
Avatar m tn My doctor told me recently that people taking acid reflux meds (such as Nexium or Prilosec) need to know that those drugs also cause magnesium deficiency! What next?
Avatar n tn about a year ago and take Prilosec twice a day. I also was diagnosed with CMV about 15 years ago when I went to give blood. I understand that CMV is pretty common, but I'm seeing it pop up too in the literature/postings on the net. Here's my question... should I bring all three up to my Doctor or am I reaching for straws in an attempt to find something concrete that will fix my constipation? The Miralax, Activia, Benefiber and others aren't really working anymore...
Avatar f tn I was put on 10mg of Pepcid 2x a day. My trial Dr. said that Prilosec didn't let you have enough of the acid. They said with the Pepcid there is no time barrier to take it. Said I had better chance of trial meds working if I stay away from the Prilosec. I am into 8wks of trial and totally undetected. I am on sofosbuvir 400 & GS-5186 100mg no riba, 12 weeks. Geno type 2a/2c.
Avatar m tn I have taken Prilosec for indigestion and IBS for the last year, it helps, but seems to wear off before I am suppose to take it again. I use to get pains in my upper chest after eating and a friend in med school told me I may have an acid problem where it leaks into my lungs and burns them. I cant recall the name of the condition, but the Prilosec seemed to stave off the pain, I started using the Prilosec shortly after she told me.
Avatar m tn You can also try Aloe Vera Juice but only use as directed on the bottle. Tums also works well and is just calcium with some magnesium. Applesauce can help as well before/after meals because apples sooth the stomach. I find cranberry juice helps as well, it is a very powerful anti-oxidant. Don’t go for the magic pill cure as it usually will not help. I took the magic pill (prilosec) and it lead me down a horrible road of terrible symptoms, much worse than reflux.
Avatar m tn nexium, prilosec [which is omeprazole]), the FDA made a statement to take up to 14 days, 3 times a year. There is a good reason for this. You NEED stomach acid to absorb essential nutrients and kill of bacteria, fungi, parasites. Muscle pain could be due to magnesium deficiency for instance. This is the newest warning out by the FDA. A magnesium deficiency can occur within 3 months of taking a PPI.
Avatar m tn t seem as numerous and/or the sensitivity decreases with light physical activity. With heavy upper body activity such as moving heavy objects (pulling/pushing) I've had the irregular heart rate symbol show on the Omron monitor I use at home. They also increase significantly while eating, with particular body positions, such as leaning forward at the waist, tilting my head forward or backward at particular angles or slightly tilting my body left or right of vertical when sitting.
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 Dear Doctor, I am a new RN and although I should be excited about my new career, I am feeling that its all coming to an end. A month ago, I was feeling a lot of heartburn and so I took my mother's prilosec along with my Yasmin and went straight to bed. Because of indigestion, I did not have dinner that night either. At around 2am, I woke up to use the restroom and I clearly remember voiding but what happened afterwards, I have no recollection of that.
Avatar f tn Prilosec and a late period have NO correlation nor is it common.
212161 tn?1599427282 hey thank you for your time. i take prilosec everyday cant go with out it i have reflux really bad is the a bad thing for my stomack will it cause problems down the road been on it for at least 2-3 years do come off of it now and than take zanta for a week but it not as good.
Avatar f tn I have been having some GI issues for almost 2 months now and was first diagnosed with Gastritis. For the Gastritis I was given 15 days worth of Prilosec. 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.
1774905 tn?1314262865 Slow digestion is consistent with a sedentary lifestyle. I'd suggest you walk or do other exercise at least 30 minutes a day to raise your heart rate at least 30 beats per minute. You mention you have diabetes, and if the 300 rating is from a fasting test, that's totally out of line. I would take a Proton Pump Inhibitor and mix in daily exercise, eat foods with fiber, stay away from the inside of the supermarket, buy the vegetables, etc on the perimeter.
Avatar m tn The Prilosec is to cut down your digestive juices so that they do not flow up the Hiatus Hernia. The Prilosec will not help with clearing up thick mucous that is in the throat. If the Prilosec is not helping very much, another medication may work better so it is worth making an appointment to see the doctor. My husband is on Pantaprazol for his Hiatus Hernia and that allows him to eat all foods without getting gastric juices flowing up to his throat.
698496 tn?1228112508 He claims to have seen thousands of patients whose viral loads went up with proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec. Assuming he sees 2 new patients a week who have Hep C and take PPI's, it would take about 19 years to see 2000 patients ("thousands of patients"). On top of that, they would have to come to him first, get their viral load checked, then start a PPI and recheck the VL for him to have that kind of information.
Avatar n tn When u mentioned the otc is that the prilosec with the magnesium in it.? My dr. has me on omeprazole ( script) which is cheaper with my co payment. Do they have this with magnesium in it? The over the counter costs 40.00.. I am only on xanax because my anxiety is over the top and every antidepressant they try me on makes me nuts and makes me more anxious.. I am super sensitive to them.
