Dexilant 30mg

I was on omelrazole 20mg BID, for the most part it controlled my reflux but I was having some rebound reflux so my doctor started me on dexilanr 30mg daily. Today's my third day on this medication and I have been experiencing more reflects I don't know if it's because I was originally on the omeprazole BID for about 2 months and now I'm on a new medication Thats only daily and I know that sometimes it's says that it takes three weeks to kick in my question can I also take Zantac at during the day or before bed to help until the dexilant kicks in

Hello, Nicky! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

Yes, they can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves. I had severe gastritis, which landed me in the ER several times, so when it acts up now, I have a standing order to take Pepcid (Famotidine) and Prevacid (Lansaprazole). Some severe conditions do require more than one medication to help get them under control.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, dry mouth and flatulence.

Are you also watching your diet? It's best to stick with mostly bland foods for awhile, while you get your GERD under control.
