is prevacid an antacid?

Not really, no.  Technically, Prevacid (this is a brand name, the P is capped) is a proton pump inhibitor which, simply put, means it blocks & prevents the secretion of stomach acid but doesn't neutralize stomach acid the way that antacids do.

It's a conspiracy with the antacid companies...

I think its an Anitoxidant. It enchances blood flow or something. It is a combination of Gaba and Niacin.  I'am no science freak. I heard it on some channel.

Actually called: "Total nutrient admixture(TNA), A 3-in-1, or an all-in-one solution containing,:Dextrose, amino acids, and lipids. A 2-in-1 excludes lipids. There is no "name-brand" I know. They're looking for: "TNA", believe me!

A natural appetite supressant, that is also very inexpensive, is apple cider vinegar.  You take 1 or 2 tablets 1/2 an hour before each meal and it seems to curb your appetite.

Well, at 3 gm HCl/ liter, and 3 liters, then you are making 9 gm of HCl total per day. HCl has a molecular weight of about 36.5.  Each Al(OH)3 can neutrilize 3 HCl, and the moelcular weight of the antacid is about 78.  You need 1/3 the number of moles of antacid to neutralize the HCl.  9 grams of HCl is about .25 moles. So, divided by 3, you need about 0.08 moles of antacid. THe weight would be 0.08 X 78g/mole= 6.4 grams of antacid.  It takes 5 antacids to make 1 gram, so 5 X 6.4 = 32.  \n\nSo, it takes about 32 antacid tablets to neutralize all the stomach acid made in a day.\n\nJust a note about reality, though- if your stomach senses that there is too little acid being made, as in the case of taking lots of antacid, then it will produce more to try to get the right acidity-often when people take an antacid, they have *worse* acid problems later, because the antacid stimulates the stomach to make more acid than usual.  This is why antacids are not nearly as good as inhibitors of acid production, like zantac.

Combivent is definitely NOT an expectorant. It is a combination of albuterol ( a beta 2 specific adrenergic bronchodilator) and atrovent ( an anticholinergic bronchodilator). I would reccommend going back to your Doc & talking to him. Be careful of the advice you get on here! LOL

Yes, CVS is selling Xenical.  You need to get a prescription from your doctor first.

Yes, it does although very mildly. If you take your antidepressant with at least 8 hours of difference than the antiacid, there should not be any problem. However do not extend the intake of the antiacid for more than a few days.

Hi! No, they're totally different.  Xenadrine gives you energy, that's it.  And Xenical blocks the fat from your food to be absorbed

pro active or pro actine or something like that.......... my daughter tried it... it was on T V  and now she gets it for all her friends

It should have a pH of 12 (assuming that in order to reach neutral pH of 7 we need the same amount of antacid solution as the amount of stomach acid).

It really depends on what kind of gastric problem you have.  If you are having heart burn, to prevent it after the meal, try taking something such as Pepcid or Zantac at least 30 minutes before you eat.  This decreases the amount of acid produced.

I know of no OTC meds for anxiety. Xanax IS an anti-anxiety med however! If it isn't working, ask your doctor to change you to ativan or vallium.For me Vallium works wonders.Most doctors are hesitant to prescribe them for longer than a few months however due to the risk of addiction to them. Hope this helped. :)
