New here…PLEASE help with Prevacid question?

My daughter is 5 mos. today, and we are currently on Prevacid. Tried Zantac, and it did nothing (I might as well have been giving her water!)…Anyway, we were giving her 2.5 ml/day of the suspension. The pharmacy we had it made at never mentioned anything about the shelf-life of the suspension. In fact, after doing my own research, I called them and asked about the 14 day expiration. They SWORE to me it was good for 30 days. Then, why after 3 weeks of being on it and were doing great, did she start going downhill?

Went back to the ped who upped her dosage to 3.5 ml/day, and we took it to a special compounding pharmacy. They mixed us up two batches that we are to mix ourselves so that the supply will stay fresh. (Basically we got 4 bottles…2 of the meds w/caracream and 2 with the water and buffer.)

My question is this….we were put on the new dosage last Tuesday…it was my understanding that it might be like starting over due to the fact we were giving her bad meds for about a week and half. Well, it has been a week and while I will say we have seen SOME improvement, we have not seen nearly enough AT ALL! She still has attacks about an hour after she eats….sometimes severe, sometimes mild. She is sleeping better than a week ago, yes…but there was a point where she was feeling great all the time before. Am I being impatient and need to give this new dosage and mixture another week to set in, or do we need to push the ped to up the dosage again. (He said we could go up to 5ml, but he didn’t necessarily want to do that…)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!!!
