my doctor gave me this pill and it has not changed any of my symptoms (belching stomach growling sore and tight throat liquid sensation in my stomach) ...sometimes it feels like they've gotten worse. I wait 30 min before breakfast in order to take it. I've been on it for a week and no difference whatsoever. would I be able to stop taking it and try soemthing else? ## Hello, April! How are you? There would be no harm in stopping it to try something else, but it can take several weeks to heal the damage that has been done from excess acid, so not all of your symptoms are going to go away in the first week. However, I actually did better and had much better results from a different class of medications than I did these ones. Pepcid worked best for me, it's available over the co...

I went to the hospital on March 21, and had the doctor look at me. He did blood work and x-rays and both came back fine and normal. He said I had a viral infection. I do not know which viral infection it is, unfortunately. He prescribed me Prantoprazole for a full month of 2 pills a day for 15 days, and then 1 pill a day for another 15 days. The prescription will only last a month, no refills. Ever since using Protonix on March 22 when I started the medication, the only symptom my body has been really facing is diarrhea. I had hamburgers on March 24, but about 10-15 minutes later I had yellow diarrhea and it was floating. I haven't been eating much either since the symptoms of my sickness or even while on the medication. My stomach was feeling fine earlier today, March 25, but I had...

I was prescribed by a doctor to tale proton 40. However i did not understand first the instruction of the pharmacist, all i was able to understan was to tale it BEFORE FOOD. And so i did it last night before eating, but now that I read the leaflet, it shows that i should be drinking it 1 hour before breakfast, i already have breakfast, is it still ok to take it? Because it says here that if your forgot to take proton 40, do not tale it late but continue it with the next regular dose on your dosing schedule. Does that mean i should just take it tomorrow before eating? Because if i do that, it will turn out that i interrupt the treatment, although i just started taking it up last night (which was a bad move)-.. ## Hello, J! How are you? Yes, you can still take it and then return to a norm...
