I cannot believe that your doc didn't tell you to get something (tagamet, pepcid, zantac) before you started the orals!

My doc said ANY time you do orals you should also do ranitidine for your stomach. He had me on 75 mg. 3xday when I did my last course in 2007 and I had to continue the 75 mg TID for a week after I was done with the orals. He cautioned against acidic foods and alcoholic drinks while on them too. Of course I didn't listen about the food and alcohol, but I did take the zantac without fail and I didn't have any problems.

Get something for your stomach!

Good Luck with the interview!
