Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing horrible heartburn for a couple weeks. I started taking lansoprazole 15mg delayed release capsules 4 days ago and have gotten no relief. Should I continue to take it? I took azithromycin the 1st of january and had terrible side effects from it. Nausea, muscle weakness, anxiety, burning of veins, diarrhea for a few days following end of taking pills. Could that azithromycin have killed all the good stuff in my stomach causing this heart burn ?problem?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Its possibly drug induced gastritis. Azithromycin antibiotic is known to cause gastric intolerance. Its advisable to continue taking Lansoprozole tablets. Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.
