Prevacid and Zantac

Erinbsise

My LO is currently on the compounded Prevacid twice a day. He gets 2.5 mL which I assume is equivalent to the 7.5 mg he was getting twice a day but he wasn't keeping the solutabs down. He was on Zantac at first but it didn't seem to help him by itself. I was wondering if I could give him the Prevacid morning and night as usual and throw the Zantac in some time in the middle of the day when I can see his reflux is bothering him? Has anyone else tried this? Thanks!

I would run it by your ped.

Yep, this.

That is exactly what we do at our pedi's direction. Prevacid early morning and before bedtime feeding. Zantac midday to act as a "bridge" for afternoon symptoms. Can't hurt to ask your pedi.

We do something similar- Zantac morning and night and Prevacid once a day in the afternoon. The Zantac did not work for my LO in the beginning but now it seems to really help.
