Can I take Prilosec OTC 20.6mg while taking Dexilant Caps. 60mg in the morning. ## Dexilant contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, it is most commonly used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat GERD. Prilosec contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, which is a medication in the same class, thus using both is not advisable, because it is doubling up on the same type of medication. Have you consulted your doctor? If you are still experiencing heart burn and acid problems, while taking the Dexilant, it may not be the right medication for you.

I have problem with digestion there is little pain in lower side of system. ## if we contiue take vibact tablet , is couses some side effects or not? ## Vibact is a probiotic supplement, used to restore the natural balance of the body, however, since it is not an actual medication, the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for prescription drugs. And Medha, have you seen a doctor? If you are suffering pain, then it is very important that you do so, to get a proper diagnosis, rather than trying to self treat.

Hi! My doctor prescribed me domperidone because I suffer from bad, slow digestion and nausea. Have someone tried it? How long does it take to feel any effects? ## Hello, Silvia! How are you? Some effects should immediate, but it may take a few weeks for it to reach its full level of efficacy. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, flatulence and bloating. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi! Thank you! I'm taking it for three weeks now and it hasn't work very much until now.

Discovering what it causing your problem and getting proper treatment is going to require a medical exam. No one is going to be able to provide you with a solution from just a short post online. It could be from digestion problems, a bowel blockage, hormonal imbalance or any one of a number of other possible health issues.

I am 56 year old diabetes patient. Currently suffering from IBD (colon infection). Can i take chymoral forte for digestion as well to reduce IBD? ## Chymoral Forte contains the active ingredient Trypsin, this is a protease commonly found in the digestive system. As to whether or not you can safely use it, this site is not medical professionals and do not have information on your medical history or other medications, so it would be remiss of us to try and advise you on that. I would suggest you ask your doctor if it can be of benefit to you and is safe to take considering your medical conditions and other medications. I will state, however, that these are touted to help with many things, but they are really not proven to do so. You can read more about it here: Is there anything else I ca...

Hey everbody, for those on Bupropion, how did it effect your digestion? Especially those, who are having/had a "good" digestion with like 2 or 3 times defecation a day - did the Bupropion somehow made you constipated so that you couldnt go that often any more? And how long after the first pill did this start? Thanks much! ## This medication could cause constipation as a side effect, according to NIH reports, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes. However, it really is not normal to defecate 2 to 3 times a day. Most people go once a day, or less. Has anyone else experienced this issue with this medication? Most people go once a day, or as little as once a week. ## Ofc it is normal to go 2-3 times a day (just check the transit times of food); howeve...

TO TREAT DIGESTION PROBLEMS ## Are you currently taking any medications? I've been tested for it recently because my doctor thinks that the symptoms I've been dealing with on an intermittent basis might by H Pylori. For example ... bloating, nausea, can't eat certain heavy foods, general discomfort, and fatigue after a stomach attack. Actually, 2 of my uncles dealt with this recently and I was told that their doctor prescribed antibiotics and within a couple of weeks they were fine. I should know my test results by Wednesday and hopefully it's something simple! Digestive issues are such an inconvenience!

Sir I am suffering from slow digestion of good. After various tests my doctor told me that this due to non activity of bacteria in the large intestine. The doctor has given me anti-depressant for the same. Please advise me the pro-bacteria foods to be taken be my

I have found from past use of antibiotics that my digestion suffers. I have used probiotics to help with the problem and am wondering if and how you recomend taking probiotics with Amoxil. ## your not really supposed to take other things with the drug.talk to your doctor about your digestion problems ## Now a post from back in February. You really are into the antibiotic posts. Yes, some things you take can effect how well a drug works for you, so you shouldn't take anything, even over the counter items, without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

Is Dextrol ever used to treat GERD? ## Yes, Dextrol is used to treat all kinds of digestion problems. I use it and it is very effective. My personal MD told me that his wife had taken the purple pill for 20 years when they found Dextrol. After two days she quit taking the former pill and is so much better. I like it because it is all natural. No drugs. It works. I have a hiatal hernia and several other digestive problems. I do recommend it. You just have to try it.

What is your experience of KurZyme? ## Kurzyme is a supplement, claimed to help with digestion. However, as a supplement, this also means that it is not proven to actually help with anything. Does anyone have experience using it? ## The brochure maintained that KurZyme was the product to end all products, no need for CoQ10 etc.etc. I had one of the symptoms it claimed to cure. After a month or so I noticed no benefit from using it. I requested a refund but was told that the refund date had passed. I mentioned that I had 2 bottles that could be recycled. The Operator said that they did not return the bottles, but they threw them away. That told me everything...if they could replace a bottle of this stuff for less than the cost of postage, it has to be junk. I plan on pursuing this as I a...

i do not think the op version of oxycontin are working.they seem to go through me without digestion.i have literally seen them in the toilet up to 6 hours after ive taken them so im not getting relief from the pain. are the old version ones still made and provided to pharmecies? ## No, the old ones are no longer available. However, it is normal to find the tablet shell of these time released Oxycontin OP in your stool, later. However, it is just the shell, the medication is slowly released from it. As to the problem with them not working, there have been many complaints about this, as well. You can contact both Purdue Pharma and the FDA to let them know of your complaints, the more people that do so, the more attention they will pay to the problem. Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/m...

floratil ## is it a generic for Floratil? ## Floratil is from Mexico and is listed as being a probiotic to aid in proper digestion. Otherwise, I am sorry, since it's not from the US, I don't have a lot of information on it. Does anyone else know anything? ## I live in Mexico and take Floratil when my system has troubling recovering - usually after a course of antibiotics, which destroy the good bacteria along with the bad. Floratil is a super dose of good bacteria (saccharomyces boulardi) for when yogurt and lactobacilus pills alone are not enough. There are no contraindications. Dosage is 1 capsule twice a day until your stomach feels better - usually 4 to 6 days. ## I have spent a lot of time in Xalapa, Mexico, I was given floratil by a doctor here when I had diarrhea. It was ...

I want to know the differences of treatment of these two teblets Rantac D and rantac-150. which is more better in digestion problems. ## Rantac contains the active ingredient Ranitidine, while the Rantac-D contains that, as well as Domperidone. Both are used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and Gastritis. There is also no real way to say which would be better, because medications can affect everyone differently, so what worked great for someone else, may not work for you, at all. What has your doctor suggested you use? Both can cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Learn more:
