Heart Burn / Indigestion Forums (Page 19)

I got a Sun rash on my hands arms and chest and was wondering if it could be because of my pelvis pill ## Hello, Candicel30att! How are you? This isn't known to increase sun sensitivity. However, it's difficult to know what any given medication may cause in any given person that tries it, it could also be due to some other issue. Have you had your doctor look at it, yet? That would be the best thing to do, to be sure. Other side effects may include drowsiness and flatulence.

Hi there, My Boyfriend was prescribed Topzole for 2 weeks for his bad heart burn and heavy acid reflux. He is worried however after reading on the internet that bad side effects it may have lasting up to a few months EG: hair loss? is this a possibility? Is this the best route to go? He wants to stop taking it after only a day. I am worried however that stopping it ma not be the best solution as he has only had the Nausea thus far. ## Hello, Kerry! How are you? No, if he experiences any of the side effects, they shouldn't last longer than a week or so, after finishing it. He may also experience dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

My 2 year old was prescribed this medication yesterday he is to take 2 teaspoonsful twice a day I gave him his doses for yesterday and today I gave him one in the morning then I gave him his last dose before bed he fell asleep then shortly after woke up in a fog and his cheacks and arms were bright red and he was burning up and complaining that his stomach hurt. ## Not to put your efforts in vein, but, in my honest opinion, this is a pretty dangerous drug to be giving to a 2 year old. There are many adults who cannot cope with the side effects of this medication, so I can only imagine how toddlers might react to it. The following are just a few of the side effects associated with this medication: upset stomach vomiting loss of appetite If you experience any of the following symptoms, ca...

I have found this pill in my 97 year old dads drawer and am worried about it. It looks serious. I've spent countless times researching this and it comes up as the wrong pill! It is a dime sized thick pill with L468 on one side and blank on the other. Please help ## From what I can find, it's listed as being a calcium carbonate tablet, similar to Tums, used to treat heart burn, acid indigestion and as a calcium supplement. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can anyone tell me if Alepam can have an affect on Pericarditis or emphysema? And can it be taken in combination with Rabeprazole and Indomethacin? Any advice about any of this will be helpful thanks. ## Hello, Sandy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these medications, but you should always double such information to be sure. As to the pericarditis and emphysema, the Alepam can cause depression of the central nervous system, so with those conditions, you shouldn't take it, without your doctor's approval. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 56 years old. I was diagnosed with "GERD" 3 years ago for which I was prescribed SETGI rabeprazole sodium and domperidone formulation - 1 capsule daily. I have been using the medicine since then without any side effects. Have noticed that since last year, I can do with one capsule every alternate day with no adverse effect. However, discontinuance beyond that the diagnosed problems resurface all over again. Is it OK to continue taking this medicine kind of lifelong? Thanks and Regards.

7 years ago I had severe diarrhea and one of the tests I had was an upper GI endoscopy. It was done by a general surgeon because there isn't a gastro near by. He said I had a hiatal hernia and told me to take prilosec by Rx at that time. I finally got into a gastro and she said oh no don't take that it causes diarrhea. At the time I also had awful pain and bloating. It turns out I am intolerant to fructose so that problem was solved. Meanwhile she put me on Nexium. I took that for several years and then I started reading about the bone problems. So I put myself on Ranitidine. My reflux has gotten ever so much worse in the past few years. Swallowing issues sent me to my family MD. He made an appointment with the general surgeon (different one) The very first thing he did was writ...

Is heart burn a side effect? And can I still drink beer? ## Hello, Rick! How are you? This contains the active ingredient Sildenafil, it is just a foreign name for Viagra and is most commonly used to treat ED. And yes, it can cause heart burn as a side effect, along with nausea, stuffy nose and priapism.

This may be contraindicated with some. ## can I take fildena if im taking prednisone and tramadol

There is only one stone in my gall bladder and I am always having a burning pain in the upper part of my stomach / liver, and there is also swelling in my stomach as if I am pregnant, but I am only 23 years old. I am taking the Rabeprazole DSR tablets in the morning or whenever I am having pain in my stomach. Please advise me on what I should do moving forward. ## When I was younger, I had a terrible burning pain on and off in the upper part of my abdomen and swelling too, just as you described. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went into the hospital and found out I had gall stones and because I ignored it, they were about to pass into my liver and I could have died! My suggestion is that you go to a doctor and tell him you suspect you have a stone in your gall bladder! Then h...

I have been on Aciphex which was a miracle drug for me for 10 years. One pill daily controlled my GERD completely and I was able to eat normally and enjoy my life. For some reason I don't understand, I had a horrible breakthrough of GERD last Saturday night which felt like someone poured battery acid down my throat. It woke me at 2 AM and I was scared because I never had that type of reflux before. I had an endoscopy two years ago that was pretty normal. Since this happened on a weekend, I just started taking my Aciphex twice a day, once in am and once in pm and it seemed to help somewhat...not perfect, but better than it was. I finally got through to my GI doc on Tuesday and he switched me to Dexilant, 60mg once a day and 300mg generic Zantac at night. This is my fourth day and thi...
