GI doc said to start DD on Prevacid and continue the Zantac for a couple of weeks. I keep reading about spacing the two medicines … what IS the correct spacing for the medicines.

I didn’t know, so tonight I gave her the Prevacid but not the Zantac (which she normally takes twice a day … same as the Prevacid prescription.)

Thanks so much!

to answer your question: my son’s ped GI said to space them 2hrs a part & that’s what we did w/o any problems. other posters here on this forum have reported that their ped GIs said 4hrs. The most I’ve seen posted from spmeone’s ped GI is 5 hrs…so, b/t 2-5hrs, LOL

PLEASE check out the link I gave you to make sure of the DOSE of meds your baby should be getting…
