Severe heartburn

Does anyone else suffer from this?

Try Peptac. The only med that sorted my heartburn 

Hi WHUMARK 

Welcome

Why was your medication stopped? Who stopped it. 
If it was your GP get your ENT to ask them to restart it. 
RT not only reduces the amount of saliva we produce but changes its make up. It’s unable to interact with the acid in your stomach properly so you get reflux. 
I am on lansoprazole five plus years down the line And can’t do without it. 
I have seen gastroenterology and they tell me PPIs are very safe even in the long term. 

That’s good to know because I’m also taking this and on days I don’t I feel it

Hi Dani,

Pharmacy couldn't order it for me as doctors had it down for review! Been waiting for a phone call from them but nothing yet, so have booked appointment for next week. 

Thanks for your message

I didn't realise that.. I have to take take Peptac every now and then.. that explains it.. 

Is Peptac available on prescription?

yes, I believe it is..

No. We don’t get told these things

Yes I have a recurring prescription. I was given it at the start of my treatment. Not recommended during RT as it’s very thick but I had no issues swallowing so used it throughout. It’s pure magic and kicks in instantly
