My daughter is 16 weeks and weighs 12lbs2oz. She is on 1ml of protonix 2x a day. Could anyone give me an idea of what doses your children were taking at this age/weight. Afer a week on protonix she was a new baby…for a week…and then it seemed the protonix stopped working. I am not sure if the dosage needs to be increased, if the protonix started loosing it’s effiecieny after the 2nd week, or if the compund was not mixed correctly.

Thanks so much!

my guess is since it was at the 2week mark, that it was how it was compounded…that and perhaps the dose isn’t high enough?

from this link (welcome/intro), look for ‘prevacid 101’ and from here you can look up PPI doses and how to get PPIs compounded… https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&am p;am p;am p;PN=1&TPN=1

Well at that weight Isaac was on 10 mg a day but we had to double his dose at around 15 lbs. This is still somewhat of a conservative dose for him. I would wait out the 2 weeks and then see how she is acting. If she is still bad then i would try for a higher dose. It really does take the whole 2 week to know if it is really working though One word for you in the meantime: Mylanta!
