Zantac...is it OK


[ru...]

Recommended Posts

My ENT wants me to take 300mg of Zantac for acid reflux. I have read on BB that the PPI's are problems for us but what about Zantac? Anyone have an opinion on this?

I tried Zantac but it didn't do any good.  PPI's worked better for me (especially Aciphex).  I was on PPI's for about 7 years, by the way.

They both cause anxiety, affect the metabolism of medications, disrupt digestion, and have many of the same side effects except PPIs have a more powerful acid reducing action and can cause problems with the heart and kidneys

I haven't had a problem with Zantac. But 300mg is a large dose. I take 150mg occasionally for heartburn.

No I have not tried porbiotics or enzymes yet. I really don't know much about them to tell the truth.

I take Nexium in the morning 40mg and Zantac 300mg at night. They have been prescribed to me for years. I would like to stop taking them, but am afraid to change anything right now. I know everyone is different, but I thought I would just share that I do not believe they are having any negative impact on me at this time. At this point I think I might be ok just with my probiotic and papaya emzymes, but I'm not ready to find out for sure.

 

Have you tryed 150mg? If not that is probably a better place to start, that alone work great for me many years. Good luck. I hope you find some relief!
