antacids

i am havin terrible problems with my antacids. my insurance wont pay for prilosec in liquid form so i have to open the capsules and disslove them (which takes about 6 hours0. then when i take it, it is all i can do to keep from throwing up. my insurance wont cover carafate at all, so right now i am paying out of my flex spending accout but it is about empty. what kind af antacids did you take? did your insurance cover them?

Why won't your insurance cover any of these? Will your surgeon's office appeal with them to get them to cover it?

I have taken Prevacid before and ever since surgery.  The dietician I had a St. V's told me I could take capsules right after surgery without breaking the open.  Once you swallow them, they begin to dissolve.  I have not had any problem taken capsules of any kind since surgery.  Hope this helps.

Same here.  Previcid capsules since the day of surgery and no problems.

I take pepcid and our insurance pays for them.
Call and see if they can call you in something different..

Prevacid makes a "sol-tab" that dissolves on the tongue ... perhaps your PCP will have samples you can try, make sure you do ok with it?  And if so, maybe insurance will cover that.
