I have my endoscopy next Friday and after talking to the specialist they said I can use zantac but not lansoprazole until after the scope. How many can I take in a day. I have the off the shelf 75mg ones. Shall I just take what evers needed to get me through. Im being sedated for the procedure. Does this knock you out completely? I'm nervous

    well i had it done. really nothing to worry about. took about 5 mins. i have lax les and told to try and eat small portions. i had two amounts of sedation and it did absolutely nothing. still fine though

      just that i have a lax les. i can still use ppi but at the moment zantac is controlling it so ill probably see how i go with those. any advice for lax les?

      i thought you would end up back on them , you could try low dose of PPi like 15mg and zantac but im on 30 mg cant manage anything lower
