Question 1

had breast implants done and getting sharp gas like pain in stomach. took gasx, mylanta, docolace and nothing seems to help. what can i do to stop it?

Accepted Answer

Gas pains: To relieve entrapped intestinal gas, drinking hot( not boiling) water and applying heat to the abdomen helps break down gas and enables it to pass along the intestinal tract to be passed rectally. Don't force yourself to burp as you only swallow more air doing that. If you're experiencing severe abdominal pain or have severe abdominal distension, get examined by a physician. take gasex after meals

Question 2

can i take prilosec and gas x together ? any interaction?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These are compatible. Perhaps the primary concern with Gas-x would be decreased uptake of thyroid medication.

Question 3

can i take claritin and gas x and ibuprofen together?

Accepted Answer

Usually ok to do: If a person has in the past taken Claritin (allergy drug) by itself without medication problems, has taken Gas-X (stomach medicine) by itself without medication problems, and has taken ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) by itself without medication problems, then it is presumed that she can take 2 or all 3 of the drugs together, and not get medication problems. These drugs should not interact noticeably.

Question 4

can i take, tums, zantac (ranitidine) and gas x all together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you need to, but usually one or the other is all you need. If it is not working, make appointment with a gastroenterologist.

Question 5

can you take prozac, protonix, (pantoprazole) phillips colon health rantanadine, clyndamicin, and gas x  and levsin together?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Most of your medications seem to target either acid reflux , epigastric pain and gas except for Clindamycin and Prozac (fluoxetine) and one is an antispasmodic. Were they prescribed at the same time? Maybe you should go back to your doctor and see if they can be simplified. I do not however see any drug drug interaction between them.

Question 6

can you take mylanta gas tab why taking priloses tab  is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: No problem taking mylanta or other antacid while on prilosec.  Good luck!

Question 7

can i take gas-x if i have gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Gas-ex will relieve UGI gas but gastritis symptoms may be better relieved with antacids, h2-blockers or proton pump inhibitors.

Question 8

can i take gas x while pregnant?

Probably safe: always best to check with your doctor.

Question 9

can i take gas x while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It will not interfere with the process or end up in your milk.

Question 10

i take gas x every day . they  told me that i may have gastritis... and if gas x is a drug , isn't it bad every day?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily bad: Gasx is simethicone, which works on gas.  Not necessarily bad. However, if you have gastritis, you probably need to deal with the acidity as well. Acid buffers or blockers would help the gastritis greatly.  Buffers such as antacids like maalox, mylanta, tums, etc work well. Acid blockers like zantac (ranitidine) or Pepcid (histamine blockers) or prilosec/ Prevacid (proton pump inhibitors) are very effective.
