Constipation - proton pump inhibitors
by Newbee2000, Sep 20, 2007 01:13PM
I'm wondering if Prevacid can cause constipation? I was diagnosed with GERD/reflux a year ago after an endoscopy exam and symptoms of very severe heartburn with some pain. I was prescribed 30mg of Prevacid twice daily and it has completely stopped all my symptoms. However, I bagan to experience constipation about 6 5 or 6 weeks after starting the Prevacid. I tried other proton pump inhibitors (like Nexium and protonix) but they don't stop the reflux and heartburn as well as prevacid. Does anyone know anything about prevacid inducing constipation?? I eat plenty of fiber and now take Metamucil daily!!
