Question 1

is prilosec safe to take while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's safe. Just take it at the recommended dosage. Best wishes.

Question 2

prilosec safe during pregnancy? i have gerd and was told by ob to take prilosec 1x a day. i've only taken a total of 4 pills over the course of weeks. now i'm nervous finding out it's a category c med. will the baby be okay?

Accepted Answer

: By definition category C meds are considered safe in pregnancy, while D &amp; X are not. That label applies when there is not enough research available to grant it favored status. I would take the med as needed and focus on being the healthiest pregnant lady around. When the baby comes you need to be in the best shape possible.

Question 3

if i took prilosec at 7:30 a.month is it safe to take a 800mg ib?

Accepted Answer

Yes but GI risk : The question of taking ibuprofen depends on what your  G.I. problems are. This may be something you need to have evaluated by your physician. Are you taking your prilosec because you had an ulcer or reflux or what. This is a question I cannot answer with the data

Question 4

is protonix (pantoprazole) safe i had some reactions to prilosec?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: Sometimes drug reactions are brand-specific and others are class-specific. Difficult to say what will happen if you try the pronix. If your Prilosec reaction was not too bad, might try considering a try.

Question 5

is 400 mcg of chromium picolinate safe to take per day? can i take it along with prilosec?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is unlikely to have any striking benefits on your overall health, but it seems to be quite safe.

Question 6

is pepcid (famotidine) safe for everyday use? thinking of switching from prilosec to pepcid (famotidine)

Accepted Answer

Pepcid (famotidine) long term: short answer  - yes  but my concern is given you age - why are you requiring either a proton pump inhibitor (prilosec) or an H2 blocker (pepcid) on a regular basis??  
Assuming you have a medical condition requiring acid suppression - long term use may be appropriate.  However, if you are taking it without a clear diagnosis  - you need to be seen and evaluated to determine what is wrong.

Question 7

can i take zantac (ranitidine) with prilosec? im going to be switching from zantac (ranitidine) to prilosec and want to make sure its safe to take zantac (ranitidine) with it for a few days

Accepted Answer

ZANTAC (ranitidine) AND PRILOSEC: Althogh it is safe to take Zantac (ranitidine) with Prilosec as these two work differently to cut down the acid production, and sometimes in difficult to control cases of esophageal reflux we do use them in combination.But you can switch to Prilosec and stop Zantac (ranitidine) as it can be stopped, Prilosec is stronger acid supresser then zantac (ranitidine).

Question 8

is it safe to use prilosec with phillips probiotics?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics: Yes, the two products are safe together.

Question 9

changed my aciphex (rabeprazole) 20mg to prilosec 40mg ! took my last aciphex (rabeprazole) yesterday is it safe to start prilosec today ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would be reasonable to take prilosec 24 hours after aciphex (rabeprazole).

Question 10

i take 40mg prilosec and 10mg lipitor (atorvastatin) daily. i just got rx for valium to take before procedure. are these meds safe to take together? interactions?

Accepted Answer
