UNbLIVable 10 Posted January 4, 2014 I'm 3.5 week post op. About a week after I got home I figured out I was allergic to the Protonix I was supposed to take for at least the first 3 months. Since figuring out my allergy my NP said stop taking it but didn't give me an alternative. Anyone have an OTC suggestion? I was thinking Tums? Any suggestions? I have a lot of acid today burning my throat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magtart 603 Posted January 4, 2014 Omeprazole or Prilosec is what my GI doc recommended I take if I did not want to pay for prescriptions for Protonix. I ran out of Protonix yesterday and started on omeprazole today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted January 5, 2014 Omeprazole is what I take too, have been since surgery almost 15 months ago - if I miss a day, I know about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
