Prevacid cause spitting up?

[Anonymous]

My daughter has silent reflux and was never a spitter upper. Not until she was given the oral suspension of Prevacid. I gave her one dose and she spit up after every feeding. We went off the Prevacid and she was better. We went on Prevacid solutabs yesterday and now she is spitting up again…and it smells aweful. Is this jus something that happens in the beginning or is this going to cause her to spit up a great deal?

the meds don’t stop the spit up- it might just be something that is for a little while or it may be longer- hard to tell- the important issue is pain- oftentimes once they feel better they don’t ‘fight’ to keep the reflux down and thus the spitting up- it can be a sign that the medicine is actually working…

HOWEVER, my educated guess is that the oral suspension you have isn’t being made properly, as it RARELY is…

Hmm make sense. I was just concerned because she never threw up before the medicine and as soon as I put her on Prevacid she pukes.
