A member asked:
I have been on mobic for 5 years and i have bad heartburn on 2 different meds for it. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try some things..: The Mobic could be increasing how much acid you make: stop it for a week to see. If the 2 meds are Zantac and Prilosec, then try doubling the doses of both for a week. Remove from your intake: tomato, citrus, chocolate, peppermint, spicy food, alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. If you still have heartburn, then see your Family Doc to sort out what else might be causing your issue.
