zantac dosage

[Anonymous]

Hi I am new and am wondering where I might find a reference to give my GI dr regarding the dose of zantac that everyone on this board quotes (5-10 mg/kg)?

My dd is on 16 mg compounded prilosec daily and was on 60 mg zantac daily (she is 15 lbs), but the GI specialist just cut her zantac in half telling me that 30 mg was the highest she could go (i calculate 60 by the above recommendations). My pediatrician would give her that much zantac but not with the prilosec.

I was giving her both until I saw the GI doc (and her reflux had been really good for 2 weeks), but now I can’t get anyone to write the prescription for the higher amount. She has been on the lower amount of zantac for 2 days and she is already starting to cry through her feeds. Any recommendations would be great!

it’s from the zantac company

smith kline or whatever

go to the stickied Intro ‘groupie intro’ and from there it’s in one of the zantac dose links- the second one I do believe?

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was looking for, hopefully this will help with the GI dr!
