Question 2

Is it ok to take prilosec and tums (calcium carbonate) at the same time? i accidentally did this. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

These 2 meds can be taken together. If you are taking Tums (calcium carbonate) as a sourse of calcium, the Prilosec will interfere with the absorption of calcium whether or not the meds are taken at the same time. Try calcium citrate instead (citracal).

Question 3

Taking lithium, geodon, buspirion, cymbalta, singulair, and allegra. having heartburn daily. what is best to take...tums, prilosec or other.

Accepted Answer

Either Tums or Prilosec are safe options to treat heartburn. There are no significant drug interactions for either of them. Prilosec gives more reliable acid suppression. Note: if you have to take it longer than two weeks, you’re going to want to loop your doctor in for further evaluation. If it’s simple heartburn, s/he should know anyway; if not, something more serious should be ruled out.

patient with hiatal hernia and reflux do not have a problem with how much they eat as much as what they eat. Yes,we do advise patient to eat multiple small meal to facilitate the digestion.more important is to avoid eating spicy,greasy,and rich creamy food,and food that might contain a lot of acid.the medication does not cure GERD, it is simply trying to control the chemical part,

Accepted Answer

A condition marked by inflammation and ulcers (breaks on the skin or on the surface of an organ) of the mucosa (inner lining) of the stomach and by overgrowth of the cells that make up the mucosa. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Patients with giant hypertrophic gastritis may be at a higher risk of stomach cancer. Also called gastric mucosal hypertrophy and ménétrier disease.

Question 7

Best recommended otc drug for random heartburn? no prilosec. tums (calcium carbonate) and rolaids make me vomit. nothing to chew. rather a preventative than an as needed.

Accepted Answer

Assuming you have tried ranitidine (otc), here are some thoughts. Heartburn is caused by acidic stomach contents sloshing up into the less protected esophagus, and it can be brought on by acidic or spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, etc. If you are overweight or pregnant, you are more prone to heartburn because of the greater pressure in your belly. Eating late at night may bring it on, as can smoking.

Question 8

Is it an ulcer? severe burning pain in the esophagus and stomach. antacids (tums) taken, fallowed by ranitidine 75mg and prilosec otc.

Accepted Answer

Reflux is more likely than an ulcer but both can cause similar symptoms. Forget tums (calcium carbonate). Stay with prilosec. If symptoms pwesist, see a doctor.

Question 9

Can i take tums (calcium carbonate) at the same time as omeprazole?

Accepted Answer

For most people the answer is yes.

Question 10

I take xanax (alprazolam) xr 1mg and celexa 10mg. just started celexa yesterday. can i take tums with this combination. what about 20mg of omeprazole?

Accepted Answer

Omeprazole raises the blood levels of Celexa which can lead to serious side effects. In general the highest dose of Celexa while on Omeprazole is 20mg per day.  You really need to ask your doctor or prescriber to guide you as I do not know enough about your general health. 
As far as alternating xanax (alprazolam) and Celexa my opinion is that this is not a good idea.  Celexa is taken every day.
