<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>There are two types of gastric acid inhibitors, H2-receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors. H2-receptor blockers are a type of antihistamine. Histamine, in addition to its well-known effects in colds and allergies, also stimulates the stomach to produce more acid. The receptors (nerve endings) that respond to the presence of histamine are called H2 receptors, to distinguish them from the H1 receptors involved in causing allergy symptoms. The most common H2-receptor blockers are cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid), nizatidine (Axid), and ranitidine <u>(Zantac).</u>
The proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are drugs that block an enzyme called hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase in the cells lining the stomach. Blocking this enzyme stops the production of stomach acid. These drugs are more effective in reducing stomach acid than the H2-receptor blockers. The PPIs include such medications as omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), pantoprazole (Protonix) and rabeprazole (AcipHex). </end quote></div>

This was some good reading about the pros and cons of each of these- you might want to check it out. If I remember right, one of my doctors (my GI I think) didn't want me taking Zantac- something about interactions with other meds, and put me on Nexium instead.
I really like it!
So they are different than the antacids, and <i>should </i>be okay with antibiotics then?

When the doc put kyle on the zithromax, the pharmacist told me not to give both of them to him together. I give him the prevacid first thing in the morning and wait until the afternoon to give him the zithromax. According to the pharmacist I only have to wait an hour, but i prefer to do it this way.
