Default question about GERD meds.
I just switched from prevacid to Nexium but I am allergic to the dies in these stomach meds. Are there any that are not colored. I did try Zantac but it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for the help.

Only the capsule is dyed I believe. If you open it up the beads inside should be white/clear. Can be taken on applesauce or pudding, do NOT Chew.

This drug is also available to be used to create a suspension and no dye is listed:

Default Thank you MrsD.
I never thought of opening them. I will try that from now on. I don't know why they dye these pills. Like anyone cares what color they are. They don't need to match our clothes. LOL

Thanks again and Happy New Year to you.

protonix is my favorite, but when kapidex comes down in price i will switch to it cuz you only take it once a day and it works as well as protonix or better.

Default Hi Mike,
I have to have a med that is once a day, that's why zantac didn't work for me. If it's a 12 hour pill it doesn't last the whole 12 hours for me and usually doesn't do the job.

Nexium and Prevacid are both 24 hour meds, the dye on them just cause me to break out but I think Prevacid is one of the best.
