Anyone heard of Axid??

Axid is like zanta/tagament/pepsid

Do you feel that she is on a high enough dosage of axid (never heard of it). Were you able to ask all the questions you wanted? Sorry so many questions…I just know the frustration you’ve felt about it all. Is axid like a PPI drug? Did they say how long before you would see results? OK, no more questions.

acid is an H2 blocker.

Not severe enough, eh? I’d say if you have her on axid for a week or so and don’t see any difference…I’d DEMAND a PPI! That was the ONLY thing that helped Sarah. She was started on Zantac (which I just learned is an H2 blocker just like axid) and it did NOTHING for her. We had her on that for 4 months before we got her on a PPI…happily ever after from that point!

I hope you’re able to get the Rx filled SOOOON, and I hope it is enough to help her.

Good luck!

Our doctor told us that if the H2 blocker is going to work, you should start to see some improvement within a few days, and a bigger improvement by a week. If you don’t see any changes then I’d look into a PPI. I know how you feel. No one took our case seriously either… kept saying she’d outgrow it, she has colic, she’s fine b/c she’s gaining, blah, blah, blah… I was the one who knew that things weren’t fine though. If this doc doesn’t take your situation seriously and the axid doesn’t help, then maybe you can find another doctor who does. Good luck.
