Acid Blocker Question...

I was on a prescribed PPI, 40 mg once a day, I just ran out & don't have an appointment until the 17th. I had some at home that I bought, but it is 20 mg. should I take it twice a day since I was on the 40 mg before? Thanks!

I wonder if you could try taking one, and then take another later in the day if it needs a boost... until you can confirm with the doctor.

I notice a lot more "bubbles" later in the day, and "hunger" where I don't feel hungry in the beginning of the day. I will try two for now, and see how I feel.

You can absolutely take two. I do but it's broken up. One a half hour before breakfast and the other a half hour before dinner.

Take as needed. I took one in morning and in evening. My new tummy was MAD about surgery for those first couple of months.

You can take 2 for a total of 40 if that is what you are suppose to have or if you want call the DRs office for refill if you don't have any refills on it
