I'm wondering if anyone knows what is being said about over the counter 24 hour anti Acids. I've been taking them for over five years.
Back in the 90's I took Imodium like it was going out of style for diarrhea. Now I don't have a bad case of diarrhea. Now I have heart burn. I've been taking these over the counter long lasting heart burn medications for over five years. If I don't take anti acid medications, I get a horrible case of heart burn, but is my heart burn medication giving me Kidney disease possibly? Has this been sneaking up on me? I don't know.

With all the meds I take by script and OTC, I would be hard pressed to figure out which one was causing a side effect. I know you take a lot of meds, too.
But your nephrologist should have a really good grasp of meds that alone, or in combination, could effect kidney function. I would make a list of everything you can remember taking over the years. Have you ever taken lithium? |
