I’d like to try my baby on Mylanta Cherry Supreme. From what I’ve read here, she would need a 1mL dose to begin with. Is that correct? How many times a day, and is it given after a feeding? She’s 4 months and almost 15 lbs.

Also, she takes Prevacid solutabs and Bethanechol. Is it okay to take Mylanta with those?

We usually say 1ml up to 5x/day. Loose stools will be your sign to back off some, it is a side effect. I “believe” you need to space the mylanta 4hrs from the prevacid.. not sure about the other med. It can be given anytime. We usually used it in the middle of the night if we were having a bad night.

safe for even newborns!
you MUST space it 4 hrs from the prevacid or prilosec
it CAN be given w/ zantac (and pepcid, axid and tagament)

try mylanta cherry supreme or any store
brand equivalent, looking at the ingredients to see that you choose the one w/o
any aluminum. it’s the adult kind and safe for even newborns. give 1ml
and see what happens. you can give up to 5mls over the course of the day &
if you see loose stools, just back off some.
