Re: Question about timing of meds - Periactin & Prilosec

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

We give the periactin and the prilosec at the same time and then feed

45 minutes to 1 hour later. We then do the second periactin 1

hour before dinner and his zantac before bed.

Is Prilosec in the same family as Zantac or the same family as

Prevacid...

Dr. Harbison has us giving her Periactin and Prevacid at the

SAME TIME in the morning (not mixed together, but same time). Then

before dinner, she gets the Zantac and Periactin, which we mix

together and add a bit of grape juice.

Is there a reason you are doing 4 different med times a day? It

might be much easier to do the Periactin and Prilosec at the same

time. Was there a reason the doctor said to do the second dose of

Prilosec at bedtime instead of dinner?

,

Prilosec is in the same family as prevacid. That is why gets

prilosec in the morning and zantac at night.

Thanks, . We try and time the meds with his bolus feeds so

we aren't hooking him up more times a day than necessary. He does

take the Periacin by mouth. I am going to try giving the Prilosec

first thing in the morning with Periactin and see if that makes a

difference with eating breakfast.
