Zantac dosing- my/other’s question (has axid & pepcid dose, too): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9539&PID=82914#82914

Prevacid 101(last post on the page): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PN=0&TPN=1

yes- the pumps have to turn off, etc- I don’t know the full explanation but go to the top of this page, click on Medicines & read all the stickies…they are helpful

‘proper’ dose? of prevacid? zantac?
anway, it was day 12 for us. it was THAT obvious…

check the dose of prevacid http://www.marci-kids.com
and check the ‘FORM’ of prevcid Prevacid 101(last post on the page): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PN=0&TPN=1

in the meantime, you can give the zantac AND the prevacid making sure to space the doses apart 4 hrs.

the max dose for zantac is 10mgs per kilo so you…[Read more]

hi & welcome!

first of all I URGE you to go to http://www.marci-kids.com because
the dose of prevacid your baby is getting is a very LOW dose…they have a dosing calculator and lots of great explanations!
next, I urge you to please read here for the answer to your question about other ‘forms’ of prevacid that are available:
Prevacid…[Read more]

there’s also the zantac efferdose…

from all that I ‘know’ (being on the board five years and reading all about everything- but I do NOT have first-hand knowledge about formulas),
you might want to go for the RTF- Ready To Feed-
I googled and it appears as though both Alimentum and Nutrimigen come in RTF so you might just want to go for whatever is easiest to find and/or least…[Read more]

oh & as I look at what I typed above: I in no way mean to sound like I’m giving you a ‘prescription’ or a ‘plan’ re: the formula- I really know nothing about formula – you may even give the current one a longer chance, all the while focusing on the meds- there are many options, that’s what so great about the forum-so much info to gather…

yes reflux causes grunting & straining- the grunting & straining are also most likely due to an intolerance or allergy- the only way to know is to switch formula to nutrimigen or alimentum- unfortunately it’s not a quick fix- it takes about 2 weeks of any formula change to see the full results- sometimes it gets worse before getting better so you…[Read more]

ok I’ll do a conservative dose calculation, bcse that’s what I can do, off the top of my head…

14lbs = 6.4 kilos
‘high’ dose of prevacid, FIVE YEARS AGO, LOL! is 3mgs per kilo
so 6.4 x 3 = 19.2mgs a day of prevacid

your dd’s dose is 15mgs a day so my educated GUESS is that there is room to increase!
http://www.marci-kids.com will…[Read more]

just to add more to the mix:
caracream is now buffer babies & is now available, too!

Yes. sounds like sandifers. I would FAX the doctor!
use SANDIFERS as a STATEMENT (not a guess or ‘I think’ just: STATE THAT SHE IS EXHIBITING SANDIFERS AND SO THEREFORE ZANTAC OR AXID- the SAME KINDS OF MEDS- ARe NOT WORKING TO ADDRESS HER SANDIFER SYMPTOMS & IT IS NOW NECESSARY FOR A PPI)

FAX FAX FAX the dr
dont wait for a…[Read more]

if you have any zantac or pepcid or tagament, you can give this, too making sure to give it 4 hours seperate from the prevacid

oh, but I wanted to know about the 5-10mg dose, LOL!!!!
I am SO curious!

you might want to forget about thickeniing until the tests- the swallow study/test will tell you EXACTLY how to thicken…

anne: could you email dr phillips w/ your question re: the two dosings for zantac?
ask him if it’s true for the US?
