I have been on famotidine for about 6 weeks and the one side effect ringing in the ears are horrible. The ringing is so loud, I'm thinking of not taking it anymore. ## Hello, Kathy! How are you doing? Has there been any change? The FDA does list that as a possible side effect of this medication, along with nausea, flatulence, and dizziness. Have you informed your medical provider? There are other antacids that you can try to see if they may work better for you.

Does I cause gastric pain after taking? ## Yes, these high potency supplements may cause gastric pain and upset in some people that take them. Did you take it with food? That's one of the reasons that they suggest it not be taken on an empty stomach. Food tends to help keep it from irritating your stomach so much. How long will you be taking it? Have you asked your doctor about taking antacids with it?

my dr prescribed this med for a infection. The Dr. or the pharmacy neglected to tell me that you are not supposed to take antacids with this med. When I got Home I read the paperwork and the warning was also on the bottle. I have to take antacids 2x a day for my GURD. I stopped taking the antacids. What would happen if I had take my regular doses of antacids. ## If you take it with regular antacids, such as the calcium based ones like Tums, it can cause less of the medication to be absorbed, so it isn't as effective. With Ciprofloxacin, you should make sure to take these types of antacids 6 hours away from the antibiotic. This doesn't apply, however, if you are taking some other type, such as the proton pump inhibitors that are sold as generics, as well as under name brands like...

Dear Sir/Mada, I'm a gastric patience. Whenever I do have stomach pain, I take Aciloc 150 three times a day (before meal). I do have no effect.

I have been taking neurontin for 3 mnths with no side effects but the other day I had citra soda and was sick the following a.m with the runs and nausea! I hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary but felf ill at the thought of eating anything I had eaten the day before. Stomach cramps and lethargy? I seem to recall that you can't mix neurontin with antacid meds?? ## The reason for the warning about taking antacids with Neurontin is due to the fact that it can cause your body to absorb less of the Neurontin than usual, so it may not be as effective. It is recommended they be taken, at least 2 hours apart. It should not, however, cause the types of symptoms that you've experienced. Have you contacted your doctor?

Some can be helped by not drinking on an empty stomach, by drinking less or stopping entirely, by drinking lots of water or by taking antacids, depending on what your doctor advises. Is there anything else I can help with?

Why is it that taking pepto bismo causes me to have frequent urination just about every hour at night time? I also take Lipitor, Avapro, Metformin, Januvia and Actos. ## Lipitor interacts with antacids. My father has the same problem, plus nausea and stomach problems. Going to doctor to try and get him off it. Liptor from what I've been studying is not a very good, or useful, drug for most people. From what I've read, it only helps 1-3% of people. Very bad side effects too!!!! ## I started taking metformin 500 about 1 mth ago and I'm stating to pee a lot more often and it burns most of the time .. I'm also taking simvastatin20 andlevothyroxine88 but ive been taking the 2 for 2 yrs and never bothered me.. it hurts bad sometimes when I urinate ... should I stop cut them in...

Prescribed Flagyl and Cipro for Diverticulitis. The metal taste is awful but I can deal with it and the nausea. What I can't deal with is the burning pains in my stomach... Has anyone else experienced pain/burning in their stomach? ## Hello, Rosie! How are you? Have you tried any antacids to help? While it is best to stay away from ones such as Tums or Rolaids, while taking an antibiotic, you can usually take others, such as Pepcid or Prilosec, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA lists other side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Are you also making sure not to take them on an empty stomach? ## Please tell me what foods to avoid eating to combat Diverticulitis? I have constipation followed by severe diarrhea. Is Pepsi,...

Which combination solve the best for stomach discomfort and belching? 1) antacids (mylanta, magtasil, aromag, hydrosil tablet) 2) PPIs (omeprazole) 3) H2 blockers (ranitidine,famotidine) 4) Meteospasmyl,domperidone Doctor prescribed me with Magtasil, DomperidoneandOmeprazole. But I still feel too much gas in the stomach and cause me to belch a lot. I was thinking to replace Magtasil with Hydrosil tablet as it contains Simethicone that's used to help to break the gas bubbles. My question 1) Can I take Hydrosil withOmeprazoleandDomperidone? 2) Any side effects? ## I did not find drug interactions listed between Hydrosil (Simethicone) and Omeprazole. Furthermore, an article from Medline Plus states that "when taken as directed, simethicone usually has no side effects." As for D...

I am taking Amox-clav 875 mg and also taking Omeprazole 20 mg.is there any interaction between these two drugs? Does omeprazole decreases the effectiness of antibiotic? Also taking prednisone 10mg.pls let me know. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? There are no interactions or problems listed, it's usually with the calcium containing antacids, since they can coat your stomach and prevent absorption of the antibiotics. However, if you wish to be sure, you should take them about 2 hours apart, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Its been ten days now and no oxycodne at all.I feel fine not nervious anymore but iam having alot of stomache pain.If i take antacids it seems to help just a little,maybe wishful thinking.Iam so happy to stopped takeing the oxy,it was prescribed by my doctor, i was takeing ten to fifteen mils a day for four years.Hopeing someone can give me some advise.Thanks so much ## How long were you taking it? It can take a month or so for the withdrawal effects to wear off, if you were taking it for a long time? Anytime you stop taking something suddenly, it can upset the balance of your body, since it has to readjust, which could explain your stomach problem. If antacids are helping, it sounds like you're producing too much acid. What type of antacids are you using?
