hi & welcome!
the axid most likely should be given on an empty stomach, as it’s like zantac, but you know I never worried about it- I gave it when I could(now, a PPI like prevacid solutab HAS to be given on an empty stomach, followed by a meal 30 minutes later, but that’s a post for another time, as you’ve asked about axid
)the FIRST thing I would do is to check the axid dose. peds are notorious for underprescribing GERD meds…look for the post w/ axid dosing, here:Zantac dosing- my/other’s question (has axid dose too): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9539&PID=82914#82914
when you DO start the prevacid, make sure to keep baby on axid bcse it can take up to 14 days for the PPI to have it’s full effect. just make sure to space the axid and the PPI 4hrs apart.
also, when you do start prevacid, check the dosing here because again, doctors are NOTORIOUS for under-dosing:I have a LOT MORE to say
& (most of) it’s here:J
