can I take pepcid or pepto with nitrofur mac? ## Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more: Pepcid contains the active ingredient Famotidine, it is used to inhibit stomach acid production and the Pepto contains bismuth subsalicylate and is used to coat the stomach to prevent or treat conditions such as nausea, indigestion and heartburn. That said, no there are no listed problems with using these together. When an antibiotic is known to cause stomach upset or irritation, some doctors even prescribed medications like Pepcid, at the same time, to help prevent that. Are there any other comments or questions?

I've been taking the perscription drug Ziac for hypertension for 2 months. In the last week I have developed bad heartburn. Is it o.k. to take Pepcid Complete while taking Ziac? ## It is perfectly safe to take Pepcid or any other type of antacid with Ziac; however, you really should read the indications and interactions. There is a whole list of medications that cannot be mixed with Ziac. Pepcid or antacids are not one of them. ## That is actually incorrect, taking some antacids with Ziac may cause an elevation in your calcium levels, due to the calcium carbonate in the antacid, and they Hydrochlorothiazide in the Ziac. The FDA has issued prominent warnings about this danger. Additionally, Hydrochlorothiazide taken with magnesium in the Pepcid Complete could result in a laxative typ...

I Havent seen Pepcid on the shelf Of any of the stores that I visit . Do you know why? ## It appears that there were certain lots of the brand name product that was recalled due to some of the bottles being punctured during the manufacturing process. There is a generic available, as most stores, that is called Famotidine, it is the active ingredient in Pepcid and therefore works the same. Have you tried it? I use the generic/store brand and it works fine. ## It appears the recall was back in early August. It's surprising Pepcid was just taken off the shelves of our local WalMart (Las Cruces, NM), a couple of days ago. We agree with Verwon--the generic, famotidine, works fine. Doesn't taste as good, but solves the problem. ## Will Pepcid AC be available in Las Cruces NM in the ne...

The difference between omepprazole dr and pNepcid ac ## They are both different medications in different drug classes. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, it helps reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach by shutting down some of the proton pumps that produce the acid. Learn more Omeprazole details here. The DR just means it is delayed release, so it keeps working for awhile after you take it. Pepcid AC is a time released formulation of Famotidine, which is a histamine, H2-receptor agonist, so it works differently than the Omeprazole. This one works more like a traditional antacid, in that your stomach still produces the same amount of acid, this just kind of neutralizes some of if afterwards. Learn more Famotidine details here. Not all medications work for everyone that tri...

I suffer from Hypnic headaches and the only thing that keeps my from waking up with a headache every morning is to take an Extra Strength Excedrin which has caffeine, acetaminophen and aspirin. The aspirin bothers my stomach and I am looking for something that has the caffeine (which I was told by the neurologiswas the treatment for these headaches) but caffeine by itself would only keep me awake at night. Any suggestions. ## Hello, Bell! How are you doing? Have you tried taking something to protect your stomach from the Aspirin? A simple antacid may work, unless your doctor has given you some reason you can't take one and something such as Pepcid or Zantac shouldn't interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the medication. ## Synalgos DC, It has aspirin ,caffeine,dihydracod...

I have a reoccurring knee injury and was prescribed Tramadol which gave me an allergic reaction, the hospital prescribed me steroids, Pepcid and Benadryl to counter act the rash. The rash ran the entire length of both my arms from finger tips to armpits, after taking the prescribed medicine the rash has gone away but now I'm peeling badly and it hurts, is this normal? If not what can I do because the peeling is spreading all over my body. ## Hello, Safari! How are you? Has there been any change? If not, or if it has worsened, you may be having a dangerous reaction to the medication and should seek emergency medical attention at your nearest ER. Peeling skin may be a sign of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, according to the NIH and it has the potential to be fatal, if left untreated.
