LANSOPRAZOLE vs PANTOPRAZOLE

Anyone have experience giving IV pantoprazole down a NG, OG, PEG, PEJ, etc tube? The granules will clog many of our tunes and the lansoprazole soluble tablet is $$$$ compared to the IV pantoprazole. Some of our patients do not have IV access and it is not an option to get IV access. I don't see anyt

Hey new grad here, just wanted some input/tips on how YOU resolve some of the DURs that are common or any DUR for that matter. I work for retail and I am experiencing "alert fatigue" Some examples of important DURs: 1) Omeprazole/Nexium + Clopidogrel interaction. The PPI can be switched to Lansop

Just a preface: I'm a pharmacist not a patient asking for medical advice. Yesterday I had a caregiver pick up lansoprazole that had to be administered via NG tube. I gave them the package insert and we went through how to administer it (the insert said to mix in 40 mL of apple juice and apple juice

for patients with ng tubes, package insert says "Mix intact granules into 40 mL of apple juice. DO NOT USE OTHER LIQUIDS". why would this be the case?

Hey all, so I work at a pharmacy that primarily bills scripts for high risk babies and a lot of what we dispense is compounds. On Pioneer, we are able to add compound formulations (clopidogrel, lansoprazole, entresto, etc) however we have to write by hand the lot and expiration for each ingredient i

Update: I’ve been eating some of my trigger foods (caffeine, chocolate, and garlic) just to see what would happen. I normally couldn’t even have these with my 2x/day pantoprazole without being curled up in a ball, but aside from some VERY mild pain under my ribs, I feel amazing! Update #2: I’ve been

Hi i am 25f. Heres my story. When I was 19, my weight was 54, the heaviest ive been in my life. As years go by i started to lose weight more and more up until this year I was 41 kg. I keep losing weight throughout the years because i simply couldnt eat. I also had lots of abdominal pain episodes th

Suffered from bouts of GERD ever since I was a teenager. I had to take pantoprazole 40mg for about three years and was on the waiting list for a sphincter surgery. By chance I started to drink mallow tea (it has to be this mallow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malva\_sylvestris) and my reflux has si

Guys, I've been suffering from constant belching since early 2018, then after I went out drinking with friends on the 24th of december 2019 I woke up with a pretty bad throat pain (LPR). I thought I caught a cold but the pain never went away... 6 months after as if the constant throat pain wasn't en

I so wish that it was more widely known that GERD really can be a chronic condition. So many sufferers just have to live with their symptoms day in and day out, with little to no relief. I go through stages of being okay as long as I take my 40mg pantoprazole daily, and then one small trigger (or st

Last year was really tough for me as I was hospitalized twice because of GERD. I couldn't sleep because of the pain and flare-ups, I cried almost everyday and felt very desperate. I was prescribed Pantoprazole and Carafate, took both for 8 months. I lost weight very fast because I could barely eat,

Fuck this disease. I've been panicking for a while thinking I'm gonna die from a heart atrack, I swear it felt so reall! Told my doc about it, and he switched Omeprazole with Pantoprazole and it went away. Made this post just in case someone gets the same symptoms and can't tell why.

Good morning, I wanted to take the time to kinda go through my struggle with GERD, Gastritis, and other gastro esophageal issues and how I've paved the path to improvement and the ceasing of my symptoms It all started at the end of October 2023. I was 27 yeara old. I had, for many years, maintained
