[sp...] Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I was on PPIs for a while, they didn't really help my reflux but did give me massive reflux when I stopped taking them! There's no benzo connection that I'm aware of, but I think that drugs which change (raise) your stomach PH may be pretty dangerous. I've also seen studies showing them to be no more effective than low carb diets for treating reflux; that seems a lot safer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16871438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [14...] Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have been taking 300mg tablets of ranitidine (zantac) for years without any interactions. My wife takes it too for the occassional onset of acid reflux.

[ca...] Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Becareful if you are taking the Omepazoral version of zantac, rebound acid is a killer coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
