Question by mdGreg C: I Saw an Ad for Tums “Dual Action”, the Other Day, Could the Equivalent of “Pepcid Complete” Be Made With -?
-Omeprazole?
Perhaps if it was Micro-Encapsulated, and Enterically Coated?
Thanks Byte Me, So, One Think it Would Have Been Done Already, BTW, it has to Be Enterically Coated.
Byte Me, I Used to Tell Patients, “If you Lost Weight, Many Problems Would Disappear”.
Hey Byte Me, Have you Been Scoped Again, After you Lost Weight, to Ensure that All the Metaplasia has Gone Away?
Byte Me,Shouldn’t Happen, but I’ve Seen this Before, “If you can’t Afford What it Costs to Stay Alive, then Die”.
Byte Me, Famotidine, I Looked it Up, to Make Sure.
Best answer:
Answer by Byte Me
Yes, it certainly could.
But Prilosec (omeprazole) is more of a maintenance, a long-term-type drug treatment (“proton pump inhibitor”), while Pepcid Complete is aimed at short-term (the antacid) and medium-term problems (the acid reducer – is it ranitadine?)
Omeprazole, while good for long-term acid erosion prevention, is pretty useless for _immediate_ pain because you have to be taking it for awhile, and build some up in your system, for it to work.
So my answer is, yes it could be done (and you wouldn’t even need the enteric coating), but it doesn’t make sense to try.
(EDIT: just researched it a little further – you’re right – coating WOULD be needed)
Antacids are used for immediate problems, “acid reducers” for the medium-term, and Prilosec or its cousin Nexium for long-term.
By the way, even slight weight losses have been shown to be dramatically effective in reducing GERD. When I got skinny I was able to cut my antacid and acid reducer use to almost nothing.
EDIT: No, I haven’t. This is the slow period of the year in my work and I’m short on $ , and have no medical insurance. We’re probably looking at another year or so.
They found the Barrett’s about a year-and-a-half ago. If it became cancer in the meantime, I’ll just have to die.
That’s life under capitalism.
