I m pregnant (week 7) and have a chronic gastritis. I m off dexilant and my symptoms have worsen. I m barley eating. I ve read the omeprazole is the safest option to take. However, it gave my very bad side effects in the past. I m now wondering whether I could ask my doctor to prescribe pantoprazole. What would you recommend?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Pantoprazole is not recommended in pregnancy. Please visit your general physician or obstetrician for prescription regarding gastritis. My recommendation would be methylpolysiloxane suspension. Still I would recommend a visit to your doctor before you start using it. Please write back if you have any more questions.
