Did it work? If so, how long did it take to see results?
We just got a prescription for Zantac for LOs silent reflux. He's been refusing his bottle lately and eating much less. just wondering how soon we might see results!
-
It did not really work for us, LO was still refusing bottles after a week. We cut out dairy and soy and switched her to prevacid all at the same time and within 2 days she was eating willingly again. I think it was more the MSPI than the reflux meds... but I also feel like prevacid did better than zantac with the reflux because she was doing less hard swallowing/seeming uncomfortable than she was on zantac or before.
-
Yes! It made a huge difference for us, we could tell a definite difference on days where we forgot a dose. I don't remember exactly how long it took before we saw a difference, but if I remember correctly it was quick - just a couple of days!
-
I feel like it helped, but bottles/nursing were still a bit of a process until he got bigger and grew out of the reflux more.
-
She got her dose on a Tuesday and never screamed again from it. The ped told us to give it a week I think? But it was within 24-48 hours we had major leaps and bounds success. We were able to drop the Zantac at 4 months or so
-
We had to switch to Prevacid also. If you don't see an improvement soon, ask to try something else!
-
Didn't work for us unfortunately, switched to Omeprazole, and I'm still not sure that it helps...
-
Zantac worked for month and then we had a major regression where it got insane and we switched to Prevacid. He's been a ton better since.
-
Zantac started working for us in about 4-5 days, then worked for a week or so. Our ped upped the dosage but it didn't do much and we switched to omeprazole (Prilosec) within 2-3 weeks of starting Zantac. We've had to up the dosage of omeprazole once since starting it, but other than that it seems to help a lot!
-
It worked for my DD but not for my DS. He ended up needing Prevacid. His reflux has always been worse than DD's. We gave it a week or two on Zantac before switching to Prevacid.
-
Major improvement in under a week. She's been on it for about 6 weeks now, still working great.
-
It didn't work for LO, but she was eventually diagnosed with food allergies so it wasn't the right remedy anyhow.
-
One of my boys showed a little bit of improvement on it after a few days, but it didn't affect the other one much at all. Both ended up on Prevacid, which was awesome once it kicked in.
-
We had to switch to Prevacid after a couple weeks.
-
It did not work for us, we had to switch 3 different medicines until we finally got on one that works (Prilosec) but our daughter had a very extreme case of acid reflux (she's still on medicine at 2 1/2 years old for it) so we aren't really the norm.
