I have an appt tomorrow with my son’s ped. and I have the info printed from marci-kids and plan to ask for the dosage recommended by them, but unsure which to ask for, prevacid or zegerid. My son is currently taking 7.5mg/day of prevacid and I find it difficult to give since I have to wait the 30mins, he gets so anrgy because he is hungry and I know with zegerif you dont have to wait. I just worry about zegerid upsetting is stomach due to the sodium bicarb. If anyone has any suggestions, they are more then welcomed.

thanks

Sorry, no suggestion. It’s definitely a “lesser of two evils” situation. Many babies have done fine with the bicarb. My daughter is on prevacid in Caracream as we don’t get zegerid here and has done very well with it.

Zegerid was the ticket for us! My son also couldn’t handle the timing issues, and it was just too stressful for us. I’ve been really happy with the Zegerid.

I did the same as you did at my sons 2 month check up today. She aggreed to do the Zegerid, however our Insurance (which it Aetna) will not cover it until we try generic Prilosec first.
