Prilosec Tablet On Liquid Phase? Can You Crush?



Recommended Posts

I am 2-4/7 wks post op and have had no problems with reflux before or after...until yesterday. I started introducing pureed meats and soft fish and OMG the pain in my chest and throat was really bad! Worse than anything else related to this surgery and life change experience, which I must say has all been really bearable. My doc did not prescribe anything for reflux. My hubby got Pepcid last night and I crushed it up even though it reads "do not chew" because I was desperate. I don't want to just treat symptoms, I want to prevent the acid production so think I should take Prilosec. They are OTC and in tablet form but I am not cleared for tablets. Anybody had a doc say they can crush? Any other suggestions? This reflux is MAJOR food aversion therapy but as you know we have to get our Protein and liquids in. Need help, thanks so much!

I just posted a thread similar to your thread, I am experiencing the same problem. However, the doctor prescribed me a medication every morning to take. I dont know what to do.

My doc prescribed generic Prilosec and it comes in capsules. I had my surgery on 1/18 and I have no trouble at all swallowing any kind of capsule. The antibiotics were way bigger than these and I got them down just fine too.

You can open the capsule and sprinkle over applesauce. :)

I was just sleeved on the 24th and my doc told me I can take tylenol caplets, not gelcaps, so I would think a small tablet would be ok. I'm also taking protonix pills each day. They haven't bothered me. I'm having horrendous acid, and my doc told me I can also take liquid Malox and 2 75mg zantac tablets at a time. It's helped A LOT. Malox gives instant relief. Good luck!

you should actually just be able to take the tab as is.. i have been since day one.. they are small enought that they wont get stuck and dont break like the gel tab ones.. so you should be ok. if you are really concerned you may want to ask your doctor, but i dont think they will prescribe you something you couldn't take. IMO

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
