PrevPac - vomiting on treatment - can I stop it?
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:50 am
Over the past few months I have had excessive gas mainly in the form of burping. My stomach would cramp up but then when I burped it would feel better.
This was not a big concern, but I ended up getting my general doctor to take a look. He gave me something thinking it might be caused by heartburn, even though I was not having the normal heartburn symptoms. I took the medicine and nothing changed so he sent me to a Gastro Doc. They did an endoscopy and found this H. pylori bacteria, which appears to be pretty common in people.
I had started taking the PrevPac and things were fine until about 3 days later when I got very sick. I could not keep any food down. I was told to not take it for a day then start again without taking the Biaxin. I did this and again I got sick.
I guess the question I would have would be if I stop taking this medicine could that make things worse?
