zantac

Avatar f tn Ive been haveing major acid reflux for awhile now and i was takeing tums to help and they would work but my dr put me on iron pills and im mot suppose to take antiacids with them. Is there anything else i can take? Sometime eatting a small meal will make it go away for a little bit and milk doesnt really help but the taste is causes is horrible.
280369 tn?1316702041 Tums are also safe, but I am taking Zantac and have most of the pregnancy.
Avatar m tn I believe I have had low stomach acid for the past 6 months and that could have contributed to this iron deficiency, the low stomach acid as a result of taking Zantac 150 for two weeks. I am only 17 and this has been occuring for a very long time, and all help is appreciated. Does this ferritin deficiency show that I have an iron deficiency.
14089185 tn?1439417585 If u are anemic and taking iron supplements then don't take any antacids without your doctors prescription. If not antacids would help heartburn. I'm suffering from that too and bloated as well.
Avatar f tn Does your prenatals have iron in them? I'm taking vitafusion pprenatals (gummies) they don't have iron in them and i hadn't experienced any vomiting just a little nauseous in the morning. I talked to several friends who have taken the same prenatals and none of them experienced vomiting and my gyn/ob said too much iron can be the cause for morning sickness. Maybe talk to your caregiver about switching?
Avatar n tn m currently on Zantac 150mg -twice a day. In addition, I also take iron supplements ( ferrous gluconate, 300mg, once daily) because my iron is low and Vit C supplements because I stay away from acidic foods/drinks. I have changed my diet, staying away from the trigger foods and was recommended to eat protein filled foods, because I tend to always be hungry every 2 hours, partially because I eat small portions.

Avatar f tn Over the counter zantac i started taking it today and it works so good and it is harmless to the baby my doctor told me to buy it i had a doc appt yesterday.....
Avatar f tn Zantac is safe throughout pregnancy. If that doesn't work, or stops working like in my case, Prevacid is also safe during pregnancy and works like a charm. I had it real bad this last time and Prevacid was all that would help me.
Avatar f tn I take 40 mg of prilosec a day and it works amazing
7349088 tn?1390657733 Has anyone taken zantac during pregnancy for heartburn? I'm 22+5 and have heartburn almost every other day. Sometimes it's so bad that I just want to sleep so i don't feel it.
3055148 tn?1368211800 I ran out of the 75 mg of zantac but I have equate 150 mg its the same thing as zantac but just the.generic brand. Is it ok to take that?
676912 tn?1332812551 I can get up walk to the kitchen, get a drink walk back to the living room and be tired feeling and out of breath...I know with anemia being tired and out of breath are symptoms, but seriously...this is ridiculous. Anyone else feel like this?
1088529 tn?1256844030 I've just started taking zantac, and I don't know if I'll have any side effects, or if my regular symptoms (stomach pain, upset stomach) will become apparent or come back. My question is this; if I get nauseous, stomach pain, upset stomach etc. as a side effect or other, can I take tums to calm my stomach down? Or will it just make things worse? I can't talk to my doctor because (a) don't have an appointment and (b) am too young to drive there or get an appointment myself.
484160 tn?1343397921 After month upon month of frustration, the wife goes and buys hubby some extra strength Zantac and within three hours he was wanting a cheeseburger. When the doctors came in that afternoon I asked them to give it a try. After a bit of condescending attitude on the doctor's part, he said, well, it can't hurt her so if that's what you want we will give it a try. It has now been a week since she was released from the hospital and so far, so good.
Avatar n tn The cause is not known and could be seen in association with pregnancy, obesity, smoking, iron deficiency anemia, polyneuropathy associated with hypothyroidism, hormonal disorders like diabetes, kidney failure, drugs like caffeine, zantac and anti depressants like elavil. Treatment involves iron deficiency lookout and its treatment. Stop using caffeine and alcohol, and exercise to get adequate sleep may help. Drugs used are oral magnesium, carbamazepine, diazepam, baclofen, bromocriptine, etc.
Avatar m tn Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.
Avatar f tn t zantac but it is the same ingredient you drop it in a half cup water and it foams up and you quickly drink it. It is OTC. If zantac is safe this should be too. Thanks so much. Also i read that taking any antacid like tums and rolaids can have a reaction with the prozac. Is this true i was too scared to try Tums.
Avatar f tn Go pick up zantac 150 or 75 mg. If 75 mg take 1 pill twice daily and then take tums as needed. Zantac should prevent the heartburn but if it doesnt work on occasion take tums (i normally take 4 extra strength tums or 2 ultra strength at a time) I was prescribed zantac 75 mg twice a day with my first baby and told to take tums if for some reason zantac doesnt help so its perfectly safe!
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with GERD and Gastritis and have been taking Nexium and Zantac regularly. I have had an endoscopy in the last 2 years or so and only thing that was noted was some inflammation. I recently (3 weeks ago) started a new diet plan called Transitions that is based on the low glycemic index and high protein. The basis is to eat protein with every meal so your blood sugar stabilizes throughout the day and you no longer crave sweets etc.
Avatar f tn I'm at 25wks tomorrow and feel you on the horrible heartburn! It has been 24/7! I tried OTC zantac which worked for a couple of weeks. Now I take OTC prilosec once a day and it's been a life saver! That's what I would recommend. My ob used it when she was recently pregnant too.
Avatar f tn Im 7wks 5days and also suffer from gas. Because u get nausea so often its hard to eat and if i dont i get trapped wind. Best thing i find is drink a glass of soda water,, walk around a bit until eventually comes out. Dont lie down after ur meal only makes it worse.
Avatar m tn Zantac Ranitidine (150mg), antacid zellox-II, Zecuf, antibiotic (cephalexin), paracetamol, and cough syrup. This is when problem occurred. I started to experience soft light yellow stool (very little as i didn't eat much), diarrhea (>3 times, little too) , indigestion, nausea, and bloat. I started to get worried and didn't take the medicine for the time being. Please advise me what to do now. Thanks in advance.
