Suggest An Alternative Of Prevacid That Can Be Taken While On Clopidogrel

Just placed on Clopidogrel.Have used Prevacid daily for many years for Gerd, very successfully. Understand I cannot use Prevacid with new meds. Have tried for 23 weeks, and substituted Pepcid, per doctors suggestion. Works short term, but not lasting. Any suggestions? Larry - YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Medicine for acid peptic disease like PPI and it is several drugs available in market one of it is "Pevacid" it has to be taken for certain time period and may not be continued, molecule similar to this can be taken with other medicine, Prevacid or Pepcid belongs to same group and it can be taken for certain time period and that is depends upon the clinical condition you have but it is not advisable to continue for long time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
