Pills For Sick Stomach

Was just wondering how can I keep from getting sick to my stomach all the time when I take my meds. ## You might try packing your med's in food, eat a little, take pill,eat again,take pill etc.. I take Lisinopril at bedtime,along with couple other med's, and have no problem but I usually eat a little bit with it. You may be taking too many at once, divide them up. Chk with your Dr or Pharm. to get the best advice . Hope this helps. ## I have always had the same problem, and food is definitely the key- taking pain medications+empty stomach = ulcer. I've also found that if I take an Acid Reducer (Zantac, Prevacid, etc.) or at least a Rolaids or two with an energy/granola bar it helps tremendously. ## You can also ask your doctor, they can help by possibly prescribing an antina...

My 93 year old father has a stomach problem when eating and feels bad all the time. Help please so he can eat. My father is getting so thin. Please help him enjoy some food. Is there anything you can recommend? ## Hi Denise, Sorry to hear about your father's stomach problem. How long has he been dealing with this? Has he been diagnosed with anything such as IBS or Crohn's disease, or does it simply appear to be indigestion? If so, has he tried taking anything yet to help with his condition? A few ideas that come to mind are digestive enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, senna leaf tea, & medical cannabis. Please post back with any additional information so that I or others can be of more assistance.

I inserted the Estring and within two hours had diarrhea and cramping, then chills. I kept it in for six more hours but was really feeling sick, so removed it. Literally felt better within the hour. I'd like to try it again but wonder if this would likely be a permanent issue or if this stomach thing will resolve itself as my body gets used to it? ## Those can be side effects of using a hormonal supplement, and it may take about 3 months for them to go away, according to FDA reports. Other side effects can include mood changes, weight changes, and irritability. Have you tried it, again? Are you on any other medications? How old are you?

I been sick for 2 days with nausea,diarreha,chills,n weakness. Can I take the med for it ## Hello, Mel! How are you? No, this medication is an antibiotic and is only useful for treating or preventing bacterial infections, it will do nothing to help with a virus. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Don't feel well had allergy issues. Take allergy meds every day. ## Hello, Martha! How are you? Has there been any change? There are a couple of possibilities as to why you're experiencing this, according to the NIH, it may be acid reflux from the medications, or congestion from the allergies. Nausea can be a normal side effect of some antihistamines, it can also be a symptom of sinus drainage. Which allergy medications are you taking? That may help narrow down the issue.

stomach upset after taking wellbutrin sr for 3 years I started getting sick to my stomach when I take it now. Does anyone else have this problem with Wellbutrin sr? ## Hello, Anna! How are you feeling? Sorry about the stomach upset. Our bodies change with time, so it is possible to experience something new like this, even if you've managed to take something for quite awhile, without a problem. Learn more Wellbutrin details here. Have you been eating or drinking anything different recently? Are you taking it at a different time of day? Have you consulted your doctor?

I am taking coveram 1/2 of 5mg tablet as doctor was still concerned about BP, I increased to a full tablet. My small continuous stomach ache is now much worse mainly during the night. Coversyl plus did the same and ended up in hospital with acute pancreatitis and that is why I was changed over to Coveram. ## The following symptoms are all listed as side effects of Coveram: stomach pain diarrhea constipation muscle cramps feeling sick (nausea) Does the stomach ache still occur even when you are off the medication? I was thinking perhaps it could have something to do with foods you may have been eating, but those side effects make it pretty clear that Coveram is the main issue here. None the less it's probably wise to stop taking these types of medications in general if your body just...

absolutely not one shred of pain relief. This medication against all the scary stories about narcotics, I was desperate for pain relief, so I needed something, have been getting my scripts now for almost two years, with my periodic UA, which is all good. Because of the help of this medication, I have been able to return to school and not too farm from earning my Bachelors in clinical psychology with a focus mental healthcare, especially PTSD from childhood trauma and PTSD from our veterans from combat. I desire to really help others with ADHD/ADD, childhood abuse, addiction and recovery, there is a huge difference in taking medication which is regulated and not mis-used or abused, than taking for non-pain related reasons. I have even been able to enjoy my grandson that just turned three...

It is truly unfortunate that we had such a awesome medication that help so many good people. I wake up in severe pain and go to bed in pain. the new pills do nothing but make me violently sick. They take forever to work. Why are the innocent people being punished for what someone else did. I have been on every pain pill imagineable. the only one that work was the OC's. My doctor put me on oxycodone 15mg. Now I get to contend with extreme constipation, burps that smell like someone deficated in my mouth. Bloating, water retention and vomiting. Just like the new op's . Why even have this medication on the market. It is good for nothing. I lost so much respect for Purdu. Your company should just fold. ## We have had many posts from people that are having problems with the new Oxyco...

Hi, I'm 17 years old and I'm taking 1 tablet of Ferrous Sulfate once a day. But I'm also taking 1 1/2 tablets of Predisone twice a day and along with multiple other dosages of other medicines. Could this be the reason for the churning sick feeling in my stomach? ## I think it largely depends on what all the other medications are that you might be taking with it. Just about all prescription drugs can cause these types of side effects. Based on my research, Ferrous Sulfate does list "constipation" and "stomach upset" as side effects. It also mentions that you should tell your doctor if either of these symptoms are severe or do not go away. The only problem I see with pinpointing the culprit, is that Prednisone also lists this as side effect as well. And I can o...

My sister has been taking metformin for awhile, recently it has started making her nauseous, today it actually made her sick, she took the pills around 9 am, and when she got sick around 6pm, the tablets had not dissolved at all??? Is this normal?? ## Hello, Sheena! How is your sister doing? Do you know what kind of Metformin she takes? If she's on the time released formulation, that would be normal, because the tablet remains in your stomach for awhile and the medication is slowly released, over time. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. What dosage does she take? ## Oh, I want to specify, I'm not saying the getting sick and vomiting is normal, just the possibility of seeing the outer she...

I wanted to ask why thyronorm is taken on empty stomach only... I m on this medication since 1 month and as m pregnant i feel so hungry aftr waking up from bed so i wanted to ask is it compulsory to take medicine only on empty stomach...? ## Hello, Prajkta! How are you? Congratulations on the baby! Yes, it is, you must only take it on an empty stomach and wait awhile, before eating or drinking anything else. If you eat with it, it reduces the efficacy of the medication, so it will not work for you, as it should. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hair loss and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello! I am using thyronorm 12.5mcg. I am 12 weeks pregnant, suffering from morning sickness, and am feeling hungry in th...

I took Miralax the last 2 days and feel absolutely horrible. I was up all night, my stomach aches so bad and I just want to know how long this is going to last? Is there anything I can do to make the stomach pains stop? ## Hi Liz, Sorry to hear about how you're feeling on Miralax. From what I could tell by looking online, things like abdominal cramping are considered to be a common side effect of Miralax. So it may just be that you have to wait it out until the medication is completely out of your body. Unfortunately I couldn't find any specific details on the half life of Miralax. And without that, there's no telling how long it will actually take to leave your body. In the meantime though, I know peppermint essential oil is recognized for helping to ease stomach pain.... a...

Why is Povidone used as inactive ingredient in pills by certain companies? It makes me so sick. It inflames my stomach, esopgagus, and causes severe pain and nausea. ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having. The FDA has an approved list of inactive ingredients that manufacturers can pick from. The list is based on their being inert, so they won't interfere with the action of the active ingredient and the fact that most people aren't allergic and/or don't react to them. On top of that, the quantities they are used in are so small, that they rarely trigger reactions in those are sensitive/allergic to them. You are, basically, one of a very minute percentage of people. Have you listed this allergy with your pharmacy and your doctor? ...

Doctor switched me from effexor 75mg to pristiq 50mg because the effexor was giving me terrible nausea. I have been on the pristiq for 2 days and it is giving me diarrhea and making me so sick to my stomach! Help! Anybody else have this experience? Would it be ok to just stop taking the pristiq since i have just been taking it for 2 days? Please help; I feel so sick and so alone!!! ## Have you spoken to your doctor, yet? There are actually several possibilities here that could be causing the problem. They could be caused from stopping the Effexor, thus they may be mild withdrawal effects. They could be cause from starting the Pristiq, or it could be a combination of both factors. Since these medications do work on brain chemicals, it isn't advisable to just stop abruptly, because it...
