Prevacid Dosing

[Anonymous]

My son takes 7.5mg of prevacid twice daily, but I can really tell when it starts to wear off. I give it to him about 8:30 am and I can tell by 7pm he is hurting again, and I give it to him around 7:30 or 8pm before his night bottle. But by his early morning bottle (6am) I can tell its wearing off again.

Sometimes he wakes at 4:30 in the morning because he is in pain already. Is there anything I can do to space out the medicine better or should I talk to the doctor about a higher dose?

Thanks

in the meantime, give some zantac or pepcid or tagament or axid if you have any. make sure to space it 4hrs from the prevacid.

check marci-kids.com for the correct dosing.

yes, TELL that you need higher dose. do not ask.
