can i take ranitidine and ecospirin simultaneously ## Yes, as a matter of fact, in the U.S. they are often prescribed together to help prevent the stomach damage and acidity that the Ecosprin (Aspirin) might cause as side effects, according to the NIH. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach pain. Has your doctor prescribed both of these medications? It is always best to check with them, before taking anything.

I am current on felony probation and had to take a UA yesterday. The only medication I have taken recently was an off brand OTC allergy medicine and an OTC heartburn medicine that was Ranitidine (HCL). What could have possibly made me test positive for Benzo's? ## I took a drug test for probation and it came up positive for benzos. The only medication I take is Zantac. What am I supposed to do? I take another test Monday and if I fail it again I get violated. HELP

I TAKE LEVOTHYROXINE AND PREVACID TOGETHER EACH MORNING. COULD THERE BE AN INTERACTION BETWEEN THESE TWO DRUGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. ## Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between these two medications; deeming them safe to take together. Levothyroxine however, does have a 'food interaction'. Quoted below is the information that you may want to be aware of: "The timing of meals relative to your levothyroxine dose can affect absorption of the drug. Therefore, levothyroxine should be taken on a consistent schedule with regard to time of day and relation to meals so as to maintain steady blood levels. In addition, absorption of levothyroxine may be decreased by foods such as soybean flour, cotton seed meal, walnuts, dietary fiber, calcium, and calciu...

Doctor suggested me this syrup for fever, body pains. ## This medication contains Ranitidine, which is an antacid, it is most commonly used to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers, and gastritis, according to the NIH. It will not do anything to help with a fever and body aches. Are you certain this is the medication your doctor recommended?

I've got a grandson that has been hurting around the stomach area and can't eat much. He has little appetite and nausea most of the time. He's had his gallbladder tested and a ct scan couldn't find anything. He throws up a lot. He is only 19, did weights but now lost 30 lbs in a month. He stays stressed out. He has aspergers and just met a girl 18 months ago. She has a stunt growth problem and tells him she can't marry him unless he has a really good job. He can't even drive due to having seizures that he has. Could all this come from stress knowing he can't get a job, no transportation? He doesn't do math. Would be a great History teacher but can't do that. He got a special diploma. Please help me find a diagnosis. ## Hello, Brian! How is your grands...

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...

can I go. On and off at will ? ## Hello, Betty! How are you?

does this product have aluminum in it. does it interact with floxitine and also can it be takin at the same time or 2 hours later to work well. does it work good alone for acid reflex? does it work for the better if you have a hihanial hunea? how differant is it fro ranidine twicw a day? ## Hello, Cheryl! How are you? Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 1gram of Sucralfate, so no aluminum and I didn't find any interactions listed between them in the NIH databases. It's a gastric protective agent, which means it coats your gastro areas, to help prevent further damage and to allow any current injuries to heal. Ranitidine is an antacid, so it works by helping to neutralize some of you stomach acid, but it doesn't coat such areas, so it may not always help to he...

I am patient of Hypertension. Along with other medicines like olemsar 20, my physician prescribed pantocid 20. I take pantocid occasionally. Now a days I am feeling no effect of pantocid regarding gastric problem. Should I discontinue pantocid? suggest other alternative medicine as i feel lots of gases in my stomach. ## take ranitidine ## Pantocid contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. First of all, these medications really work better for this problems, if they are taken regularly. Occasional use is not going to do much to help if you have acid damage, such as that caused by one of the conditions I mentioned above. And if you are just taking it to help with gas...

Can this cause a false positive for methamphetamine on a urine test? A friend of mine had a urine test and it showed methamphetamine in it. They do not take methamphetamine. ## YES. It has repeatedly happened to me bc of the amount of Zantac I was taking for stomach issues. Have them call the makers of Zantac and ask for a nurse. Make sure they record it, bc they say that they can't give any information to consumers, but can to a dr. They said to me on the phone that it does, so that is why u need to record.
