zantac

Avatar n tn my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..
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.
Avatar f tn The dosage is low for me so I take one in the morning with breakfast and the next one I take it for dinner. Tums does not work for me either. Milk helps me when I run out of my meds. Just be alittle more cautious with what you eat that way you can monitor what gives you heartburn.
280369 tn?1316702041 I took it in my pregnancy in the last trimester, one a day before bed and my baby is a healthy 8 week old now. I had really bad reflux and nothing else I tried worked. My Dr said it was ok to take since I was only having one a day. If I were you I would take your doctor's advice. Good luck.
593603 tn?1229378162 I took it with my first pregnancy, but it was a lot later in the pregnancy. I am dying here, and need a fix.
11278126 tn?1419304633 Tums or Zantac. I exceeded the daily dosage on Tums so my doctor told me to take Zantac Maximum Strenghth.
Avatar m tn Just a thought, have you moved recently? Mold in your house/apartment could be causing your cough. It's the right time of year for it to become rampant and it can grow in places you can't see like under the carpet near doors/windows, behind the washing machine, under the sink, etc. Anywhere that moisture collects. It's worth checking out anyway.
Avatar f tn I think you should ask your doc, each are fine alone in pregnancy but I have no idea about taking then together!
250701 tn?1320974765 Zantac is the only heartburn med I am allowed to take in my trial with two experimental drugs. I had to give up my proton inhibitor because it might interfere with absorption of one of the drugs. But even with Zantac I have to be careful to take it 10 hours before and 2 hours after dosing with the study drugs. I find that the only way it will help me is if I do not take it near the time of eating. So I try to take it more than an hour after and at least a half hour before eating.
1330108 tn?1333677304 Started Zantac today and baby seems better BF 2x no problem but the last BF she ate until she overflowed. Is this normal? Any suggestions?
3055148 tn?1368211800 Zantac stopped most of it i then stopped taking 20 tums a day anfld only needed them maybe once every few days (not at all if i remembered to take my zantac first thing in the morning and at night!
Avatar n tn Is it safe to take 60mg of prevacid in the morning and 20 mg of prilosec in the evening?
Avatar n tn * beware, long answer* Hi, I know how you feel, I've been there, and still am. my son just turned a year he was diagnosed with reflux at 7 weeks.
Avatar f tn I know it's a common problem before and after pregnancy. Hang in there! Avoid fatty foods... like anything!!! with cholesterol.
Avatar n tn I have acid reflux and I recently stopped taking Zantac since there was a recall on it. I had two episodes of blood in my spit in the morning after waking up.
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?
Avatar f tn Zantac didn't work with my first pregnancy so my doctor prescribed protonix. This time around Zantac is working so far. I also try not to eat at least 2 hours before bed and sleep on 3 pillows. With my first pregnancy I put books under the legs if the head of my bed it got so bad. Good luck!
Avatar f tn m drowning and sometimes at night I throw up in my mouth.
Avatar f tn I have had it most of my pregnancy.
1328947 tn?1295011446 ZANTAC, ZANTAC, ZANTAC!!! I started getting it early with this pregnancy too, and at 11 weeks I asked for it because it helped when I was pregnant with Elijah. It's AWESOME!!! I've only had it maybe two times since in the last 3, almost 4 weeks. Try to avoid foods that will make it worse, like tomato sauces, or acidic things like orange juice...I hope it gets better soon!!!
Avatar f tn It worked wonders and I highly recommend it. Zantac is considered to be the safest during pregnancy. My prescription was for 150mg twice a day, but I only took it once a day (around 4:30pm) just because I was paranoid about taking meds while pregnant. Tums was like chewing air, it did nothing for me either. Sorry you're experiencing the reflux too - it is miserable, but it DOES go away after delivery. Hang in there!
676912 tn?1332812551 I had the same issues with DS, and got prescribed the zantac towards the end of my pregnancy...this time it started before 11 weeks...
Avatar f tn MY TSH level in 2nd month of pregnancy was 6.11. Normal level is below 3. Doc recommended 25mcg of thyroxine soidum tablets. I am not convinced if it is appropriate amount. Doc. says that after 4 weeks he will again check TSH level and will see if the dose of medicine is to be increased or not. I am worried lest my baby develops some problems.
Avatar f tn Yes, it's safe. I had a pre exsisting acid problem before pregnancy, my dr told me zantac is the safe over the counter medicine to take.
Avatar f tn Omg heartburn is awful. I have it all day. Zantac is the way to go.
