Taking zantac with nexium

Common Questions and Answers about Taking zantac with nexium

zantac

Avatar m tn i wouldn't worry about the zantac making you extra drowsy with the xanax. it is such a low dose of xanax it shouldn't hurt too much. i have heard of people taking zantac and nexium in the same day though. when i was wondering about what i could take with the nexium my pharmacist told me that i could take imodium ad with it.
Avatar n tn I went to a GI and she prescribed me with nexium in the morning (I usually take nexium everytime my gerd acts up) and zantac in the evening before bedtime. The next day, we went to my pulmonologist for my routine checkup, since I had primary spontaneous pneumothorax last november.
Avatar f tn I was put on prilosec with no difference then zantac 300 mg and now nexium. The zantac showed improvement. Then went to a gastro and he changed me to 40 mg Nexium with marked improvement. I had an ultrasound, hyda scan both normal. I then had an endoscopy that showed stomach was irritated and and a raw spot in my esophagus. It appeared to be healing. I have changed what I eat and how with little difference.

It doesn't have to be heavy greasy fried type foods (thank God they KILLED me during tx I could not eat any of them at all). Or how about even a milkshake or a bowl of ice cream? Certainly is plenty of fat in the cream right?
2101847 tn?1333564794 I'm only 7 weeks pregnant and I'm already having horrible acid reflux, feels like a burning ball in my throat. I've been taking Zantac 150 two times a day, tums when needed and sometimes Gaviscon. Nothing helps!! Any advice?
Avatar n tn Hi, I was also diagnosed with the same thing and my Dr gave me Kapidex which is similar to Nexium. After 2 days on the pill, I starting having side effects of diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting for almost 3 days. They then switched me to Protonix which I am glad to say is working very well. So like CalGal said, it works differently with different people. Your daughter just needs to find one that works best for her. Good Luck!
1580703 tn?1651904887 I have GERD/sleep apnea and woke up hyperventilating for years. Is there a treatment for it? Is protonix the best treatment for GERD? I've been taking nexium, zantac, but still have this terrible sleep apnea. maybe I need nexium at 80mg. I would wake up choking once after eating spicy food and also have hot flashes This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/GERD-Acid-Reflux/Acid-reflux/show/1428776">Acid reflux</a>.
Avatar n tn Did you ever try taking acid reflux meds or GERD meds? this may be a reason for it. Try and let us know.
Avatar f tn Not sure about Zante but pepcid and nexium is ok.
Avatar m tn The last year it has gotten worse where I occasionally wake up with back and throat pain but it is quickly resolved by getting up, moving around and taking tums. I have been to many gastro dr.s, have been on nexium and zantac and am mostly constipated (wondering if I have IBS-C?) For some reason, I am petrified of having pancreatic cancer and worry that the back pain could be this.
Avatar f tn I take Nexium 40mg which is class b. I took it with my first 9 years ago and taking it now and im 37 weeks. Zantac, and tums didnt work for me either. ask your dr.
Avatar n tn I think you're on to something because it's awfully fishy to me that just when I stopped taking Nexium, I'm left with this devil of a heart arrythmia! Hmmmm....
Avatar f tn I started with tums and nothing, then with zantac and lately, it hasn't do anything, but this now, omg, I love it lol
Avatar f tn My mother is free of severe GERD/LPR and severe gastritis pain taking betaine HCL with pepsin (to increase stomach acid - btw both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism cause low stomach acid) and vegetarian digestive enzymes. The proteases (enzymes that digest proteins) heal gastritis.
Avatar f tn I suppose Nexium 40mg and Zantac 150mg each day that I was taking are considered either PPI and/or H2RA? Those are what I was instructed to stop 5-7 days prior to the test. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Sometimes PVCs can be caused by certain medications. After taking Nexium for five years, I suddenly developed over 8000 PVCs a day. I struggled with those for almost two years. When I tapered off the Nexium meds and used a simple, over-the-counter antacid (containing calcium and magnesium) as needed, the PVCs lessened. When I ate carefully and finally stopped Nexium completely (using the OTC antacid only when needed and in small amounts) the PVCs went away completely.
Avatar f tn Zantac 150 is what I take!
Avatar f tn If so is there another drug that can help with reflux/heartburn that is not a PPI? I had problems with Nexium as well (dizziness and rapid heart rate) so I'm hesitant to try another PPI drug.
Avatar f tn I was taking nexium for a while, but it takes a while to kick in but works very well. But if you want relief fast take zantac. Acid reflux is the worst. Good luck.
Avatar f tn My dr told me to take zantac. It works wonders!
Avatar m tn I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED 150MG OF ZANTAC AND ALSO 40MG OF NEXIUM DAILY FOR RELIEF OF POST NASAL MUCUS CONGESTION. ARE THE COMBINATION EXCESSIVE?
Avatar f tn It started with heart palpitations and vomiting, then i had abdominal or gas pain. stomach feels uncomfortable after eating.i went to a physician and he prescribed me zantac. i also had my blood checked for a deficiency in anything. results were norma except that i had a UTI infection. now i'm on zantac and an antibiotic. unfortunately i'm struggling with extreme fatigue upon standing, rapid heart rate some coughing and sometimes dizziness. This has been going on for three weeks.
Avatar m tn Not tired but some dizzy doesnt last long. I have GERD. I use to take nexium, then protonix then zantac. Had rnuclear stress test done was positive negative, had chest pain went to er had a cardiac catherization done was clear. I got worried scared took xanax for a few days been off all meds for two weeks now pulse last night 41. I walk around its 54 60s 70s sit down 54 48. I this the meds gave me irregular heart will it go back to normal..?Do i need the pace maker?
Avatar n tn I'm taking omeprazole for acid reflux's. Is there a similar medicine that does not carry the dizziness label. My acid reflux's is low.
Avatar f tn My question is since I was taking nexium for about 4 days prior to the blood draw could that have made my gastrin levels that high and not Zollinger ellison
Avatar f tn I recently stopped Pepcid due to dizziness and hallucinations, and found that it had also been the cause of unexplained itching and right leg pain (all subsided when I stopped the med). I have had chest pain on Nexium and zantac. Now that I am on the Prilosec, I am having shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, and malaise. Is this serious? If I have H.
