Moms who have/had DC that used Prevacid

Prevacid worked wonders from my DS's reflux, but now it seems to be coming back (although much milder). Did you need to increase the dosage as your DC got bigger? How long did your DC use it?

Thanks

yes we started with 7.5mg and went up to 15 - am happy to say at 8-9 months we weaned her off and shes been fine - we see gastro doc next month for hopefully last visit

He's on 15mg now - just not sure why his burps seem to be causing discomfort again.

has he gone to a gastro specialist? DD was on both zantac and prevacid. we also had to add rice cereal to her bottles. she was spitting up alot - only gained 3 ounces from 2 -6 weeks old and she was miserable. it takes awhile for the medicine to work

Re: Moms who have/had DC that used Prevacid

Yes he's seen the specialist since the Zantac and Pepcid didn't work. He's been on the Prevacid for about a month now and it definitely helped, just lately he seems to have some discomfort again after a month of doing fine. I thought maybe since he's gained so much weight they might need to up the dose. I'll try to call the specialist again on Monday for her thoughts.

Thanks
