20 years. you beat me :)

taking zantac is NOT gonna be the thing that kills you and me.

Neither is this virus.

Something will, but not those things :)

As a counter? I never heard of that use. Interesting.

I’m taking prilosec now. or nexium lol not sure :)

The good news is that Tylenol is now available (which was a hoarded good just a couple of weeks ago). So there is hope that the hoarding will cease with Pepcid in the near future.

I take it from your handle that you are looking forward to the upcoming Dune movie. Hopefully this COVID nightmare won't delay the opening too much.

God stamped an invisible expiration date on our butts when we were born.

I had a life-threatening pituitary tumor that had to be removed surgically. That led to a loss of mineralocorticoid adrenal function, which has to be remedied by hydrocortisone pills three times a day. Those have side effects which include excessive stomach acid production. Thus the regular use of Zantac for years, which — except for the increased cancer risk — was superior to the cimetidine, famotidine, and carbonate antacids I use now — to keep from having stomach acid burn holes in my gut.

I took it on and off for a few years...probably went through 3 bottles over a 12 year period...

I’m very sure this is not what will take us down :)

I’m hoping neither of us finds out what takes us down for a long time!

I agree - I also had prostate cancer and had the surgery and a year later a 8 week radiation followup...almost 2 years later and odds are it will be something else that gets me....I wish to go like my grandfather...peacefully and in my sleep....not terrified and screaming like the passengers in his car....

If there's anything to the phrase, "Only the good die young", I should have a number of good years ahead...

I think she switched to rolaids or Tums. I’ve found pepcid to be the only thing that helps my GERD. I take two 20 mg tablets at bedtime, which is a prescription dose (40mg). If you’ve tried it at a lower dose, it probably did little. If you want to try it, check with your doctor, first, as it is not recommended at that high a dose if you have certain lab values.
As a sidenote, when pepcid first came out, it was considered a miracle drug. Before that, hospital patients with bleeding ulcers would receive ice water gastric lavage (a nasogastric tube into the stomach, running ice water in and out of the stomach continuously), to staunch the bleeding, then, many times, surgical removal of the affected part of the stomach.
IV pepcid 20 mg IV, every 12 hours, reduced the stomach acid enough to let the ulcers heal.

[Its BULL *hit. Just like so much these days. It was found to sometimes contain the same chemical that is in bacon in about the same amount(Full dose = 1 strip of bacon). Didn’t you know that if you eat bacon then you will get cancer and DIE? There is exactly that much credibility to this attack.]


Did you ever find a source for Zantac (or its generic equivalent)? Just curious about whether this drug is still available in the wild, despite the FDA’s paranoid pronouncements.

Google has now delisted it even though it has not been outright banned we can always count on Google to tow the government line.

You can still find it on Ebay, but the price is extreme.

Thank you. I’m on Omeprazole myself - 1 20 mg in the a.m. - working very well.

If there’s a punch line, I’m missing it here.......

No punch line. The dog has acid reflux. Vet put her on 20mg Omeprazole a day.

Are you kidding? They can diagnose acid reflux in dogs and Omeprazole works? That is so cool.......

The weird thing is the dog is 20lbs and she takes the same dosage as an adult human.
