stomach ulcer medicine over the counter

(which did not have Tylenol on it) I called the office and questioned it and she put me on hold and went to make sure because she noticed on my chart that I had liver problems not to mention the ulcer and stomach. She comes back on the phone and said, "Dr. says to take Tylenol" HELLO! My daughter takes list to pharmacy and kind of gives the pharmacist a quick run down and pharmacist says NO TYLENOL! Would these be considered over the counter meds?

Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?

I NEED TO KNOW OF A GOOD OVER THE COUNTER COUGH MEDICINE,I HAVE A NAGGING COUGH THAT HURTS MY TEMPLE AREA WHEN COUGHING

yes yes, I am clean from Vicoden, Antidepresants but still am using a sleep aid, have been using over the counter meds for sleep since the 80's then went to prescription sleep aid and now I only sleep 3 or 4 hours using them. I am going to go off them soon. My Dr would like to see me wait until Jan just because I came off two meds this year and had surgery's but please don't go to prescription sleep aids I think it is harder to get off them than OCT.

But, I would like to know if there is an over the counter medicine. I only get the urgency after a little stress. It stops after 10 hours or so on it's own. But, a cheaper "as needed" OTC medicine would sure be something I am interested in.

My name is Sam and I'm a 15 year old female. Recently I've been worried about possibly having a peptic/stomach ulcer. I'm not freaking out over it, but I would like to see my doctor. I've been having pain in my upper middle abdomen. It's either sharp, achy, or burning. Sometimes it feels like I'm hungry. Anyways, I keep telling my mom about the symptoms, and she won't let me schedule a doctor's appointment! Why?

I have a cold an taking no medicine is killing me. Is there Any over the counter meds I can take?

I take it twice a day (hence it totals twice the max strength) and my stomach feels great as long as I stick to it. Over the counter comes in various strengths and the maximum strength even has an option that includes mint to give a cooling sensation. If you're not much for medicine, I recommend trying ice cream. Not a whole truck load of it or anything, like half a pint at a time.

Does she have nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea? Does anything at all help like over-the-counter antacids? Does she take any medications regularly - even over-the-counter or herbals? Are her periods regular, and light or heavy? Have you noticed any connection with physical activity on the days she has these attacks? There are any number of things that could be causing the problem, and answers to those kinds of questions will help her doctor figure it out.

Finally if going to the bathroom is painful run water over the area, urinate in a tub or shower. All these help to dilute the acid in the urine. If you have a lesion in an area that is causing a lot of pain and if it is so positioned that by putting a finger or two on it then put some thing on your hand and cover the area by pressing down and covering the area which will make it less painful to go to the bathroom. To make you feel better as well bath in either Aveeno or Epson (sp?

But I also just found out yesterday that I have a stomach ulcer so it hurts when I eat but then being pregnant makes me want to eat every couple hours. They gave me some medicine to take but it's 8 pills a day for 15 days and I don't want to give my baby all that so I plan on waitin it out until the baby gets here to take them. Does anyone else feel hungry all day or could it just be a side effect if the ulcer? This is my first pregnancy and I am 20 weeks tmrw.

An over the counter medication is any medication that can be purchased without a prescription "over the counter", but does not make the medication safer and needs to be taken according to the directions on the package and there is a need to be more vigilent and take into consideration individual health, the benefits versus the risks and potential interactions with any prescribed meidcations.

Peptic ulcer disease causes upper left quadrant pain that usually begins 2 hours after a meal. It gets better with over the counter antacids. Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods. If the symptoms are severe consult a gastroenterologist. Best of luck and regards!

There are multiple possibilities such as gastric ulcer, alkaline reflux gastritis, stomach cancer to name a few. The combination of pain and weight loss needs to be investigated.

In the meantime take acid remedy medication that you can buy over the counter and follow the instructions on the packet or bottle if you choose to get the suspension.

My doc thinks my vomiting and indigestion could be helped with over the counter indigestion meds. Is anyone else taking anything? Have they worked? How have they reacted with your anxiety meds? Thanks!

gov/ddiseases/pubs/gerd/#3 Your health care provider may recommend over-the-counter antacids or medications that stop acid production or help the muscles that empty your stomach. You can buy many of these medications without a prescription. However, see your health care provider before starting or adding a medication. Antacids, such as Alka-Seltzer, Maalox, Mylanta, Rolaids, and Riopan, are usually the first drugs recommended to relieve heartburn and other mild GERD symptoms.

ve been dealing with a horrible burning sensation in my stomach for a few weeks now. Sometimes I get really nauseous from it. I went to the dr and they gave me pills to treat an ulcer...they havent been giving me much relief. I've tried tums, maalox, pepto bismol as well. Nothing seems to help. Any idea what could possibly going on? The drs did xrays and checked for blood in my stool and everything has been negative.

Does the pain get worse after you eat? It sounds like you have some of the symptoms of a duodenal ulcer. Try over the counter Prevacid or Prilosec, then also, make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist. I had some of the same symptoms and went to a Gastroenterologist and had an EGD (endoscopy) where a scope was used to look at my stomach to see what was going on and it was as I expected...an ulcer. You may need to have the same test...don't worry you'll be sedated.

, there could be a serious reason why this is happening, i dont mean to scare you, it could be that you are constipated and pushing to much, but if the bowl is filled up, i would call your doctor right away, and this way, they can rule out different causes and hopefully get to the problem, i wouldnt take anything over the counter until i was seen by a doctor, good luck, let us know how you make out.

If you have no money to go to doc right now and need immediate relief, I would recommend you try pepto bismol which coats the lining of your stomach or Tagamet or Zantac. Those are a few over the counter meds you could try. Also your pharmacist can assist you in your selection if you tell them your symptoms. If your symptoms continue, I would strongly recommend you get to the doc as it you could be making a bad situation much worse! Don't risk your health! :o) Good luck!

I am sorry I meant prilosec. You can get it over the counter cheaper than scripts and it is the same thing. I take it daily. Also Tuck is correct the advil is rough on your stomach. Tylenol would be the better choice. Sorry for the mistake bad day!

Is it possible to become addicted to over the counter medications? My 75 year old mother recently moved to my town so that I could help her financially, etc. I have become very concerned about the amount of excederine, prilosec, nasal spray, aleve, and other antacid medicines that she takes. She has a history of bleeding ulcers, she smokes about 2 packs of cigarettes a week, high blood pressure, and other ailments of old age. I didn't realize that she was taking so much of this medicine.

Hi I am 63 years old and all my life I have problems with my bowels and now it's getting worse. I can't have a bowel movement naturally. The doctor has prescribed me medicine and it doesn't work. Now the over the counter medicince doesn't work. My stomach bloats like I am 6 months pregnant. I've had a colonnozipy and everything turned out find. The doctors dont know what is wrong. I eat plenty of fiber and veggies, stool softner and drink plenty of water. And nothing happens.

First of all thanks in advance. This girl I'm seeing kind of forgot to take her Celexa for the past 5 days. Either she was busy or just forgot but now she feels like crap. Her dosage is 10mg. Is there anything I can get her so she can feel better? Preferably over the counter. You know maybe some food, tea or any over the counter medicine? Or any "household remedy" I can make for her?
