Prilosec AND Zantac?



Recommended Posts

I was prescribed Protonix for my PPI post surger (about 6 weeks ago). It isn't working after doubling the dose (morning and night) and using Gaviscon as needed. My surgeon recommended I switch to Prilosec. I know Prilosec won't help with the symptoms I have NOW. Can I take a Zantac and then start my Prilosec tonight? Thoughts?

A pharmacist would be able to answer that question. chewable papaya enzyme works well and very quickly as well.

I'm taking both -- Prevacid in morning and night and Zantac in the evening.

I am 3-1/2 wks. Post-Op and checked in with my Dr. Today regarding heartburn and acid reflux, she prescribed 40 Mg. of Prilosec and 1 Zantac 150 mg mid-day....She did say that I will need to add the chewable Calcium as the Prilosec is a Protein pump inhibitor that somehow destroys/cancels the Calcium in the body...Hope this helps and good luck...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
