Using Ppis

I was given Lanzor as a PPI to take at home, I have been taking one every morning since then and I've noticed I have a week of my capsules left. The nurse at my surgeons said if I need more I can get them OTC. I am wondering if a month out is too soon to stop these, and how long I can expect to take them. I'd love to hear what other PPIs people are on/ have been on and how long out they stopped them.

I switched to capsules my 2nd week out I believe it was and i took it out and mixed in the tiniest bit of applesauce. In the hospital the day after the nurse gave me a 4sectioned off tablet. I was told anything smaller than an m&m is ok careful with dosing though because it goes in and out of our bodies faster. I was on Prilosec OTC 20mg 2x a day prior and the pill was TINY!!!!! Like almost half a tylonal tiny!

And soooo much cheaper than dissolvable Prevacid lol

I was prescribed liquid Zantac when I came home from the hospital. After 3 weeks, Prevacid (a dissolving tablet) was added because I was having breakthrough heartburn. With the combination I have had no more issues with heartburn, and I plan to take them as lo has my surgeon will let me!! (My acid issues were miserable after surgery....I don't want to feel that way ever again!!). Best of luck to you!
