I have just been prescribed Omeprazole for suspected acid reflux. As I am still breathless from previous bronchitis, can I still take Salamol (blue) and Qvar (Beclometasone Dipropionate? [my original email address has no capital P at the end of it - the address below is the correct one!] ## Hi Nemo, The two medications Salamol and Qvar, (which are often combined in clinical practice), may result in additive hypokalemic effects. Hypokalemia is a lower-than-normal amount of potassium in the blood. Symptoms: A small drop in potassium usually doesn't cause symptoms. However, a big drop in the level can be life threatening. "Other than that", my research shows that there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Omeprazole, Salamol, and Qvar, I hope this in...

on taking rabonik plus ,if i experience loose motions should i discontinue the medicine and take rabonik dsr? ## What has your doctor advised? Rabonik DSR contains Rabeprazole and Domperidone, while the Rabonik Plus still contains the Rabeprazole, though I haven't been able to find anything listing what else it contains. However, you really do need to consult your doctor, because it is going to depend on what's causing the diarrhea. If it is the Rabeprazole itself, then switching to another medication that still contains it is probably not going to help. ## i am sufring from stomak disorder .for this problem iwas prescribed RABONIK PLUS tablets for 14 days.

How are you? This is an antacid and, as listed by the U.S. FDA, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence and diarrhea. Has your doctor prescribed it for you? There is generally more harm in not controlling an acidity problem, since it may cause a bleeding ulcer.

Hi, I've been taking Nexium for about a year having switched from Lansoprazole which seemed to have become less effective for my reflux issues. The side effects have gradually worsened over the last 6 months, beginning with bloating that worsened as the day went on but in the last 6 weeks constant headaches and loose stools and diarrhoea with nasty stomach cramps. I stopped taking the Nexium 2 days ago and I'm currently using Ranitidine while my Dr is arranging tests. The headaches are a little better but the gastric symptoms are unchanged, how long might it be before things get back to normal? Many thanks, Matt. ## Hello, Matt! How are you? I'm very sorry about what you've experienced. It may take about a month, or so, for the side effects to fully go away and for your ...

Found a purple pill that is the color of next nexium but the imprint is upjohn331...anyone know what this could be? ## I think the imprint is wrong. Either someone has tampered with this, switching the capsule or it could be nexium but I wouldn't take chances. Throw it out! ## @Nay, Whereabouts did you get it from? Depending on a pill's origin, I feel that it's legitimacy could probably speak for itself (i.e. from India, the internet, a local pharmacy, a friend, etc). I've also seen the following drug manufacturer's names associated with other pills bearing an "upjohn" imprint: Greenstone LLC, Pfizer (Mexico), Pharmacia Corp. Perhaps through contacting them, they can determine if your pill fits the description of something they actually make (or used to make)...
