My SN will arrive on Monday and I'm getting everything in order and would like some feedback, please.
1. Meto. I likely won't receive it in time so plan on going with OTC Meclizine, which pharmacist says is closest to zofran/meto. Any thoughts on OTC for anti-emetics?
2. Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor). I take 40 mg of Pantoprazole daily for acid reflux for past 15 years or so. Essentials says there has been no evidence that an antacid or PPI will help so is no longer advised. Doesn't say anything about it causing problems. Any thoughts if Pantoprazole will cause an issue with SN?
3. For about a year, I also had digestive issues. Though now I think it's because I was emotionally eating (large amounts of food). Tons of tests were done and no issues were found. Now, I take Gaviscon Advance liquid when/if I have indigestion but not very often. I should probably stop taking any Gaviscon Advanced? Any thoughts?
Definition: Gaviscon Advance belongs to a group of medicines called "reflux suppressants". This product forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents. This layer prevents reflux and keeps the stomach contents away from the lining of the food pipe to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion
4. Propanolol. Unlikely I can get it in time but the PPeH and Essentials says 400 mg. Even if I did have it, that would be 10 pills to take and I'm wondering if less pills/medication in the stomach is better before drinking SN.
Thanks very much.
