Giving Omepraxole for Reflux - help?

Hes probably gulping in air when hes getting upset. Isla never had Losec, but was on gaviscon and ranitidine (total of 8 administrations a day) from 5 months, so older than your boy.
But we found the best thing was getting a large dropper from the chemist. It was a big 10ml one (I think) and cost like $2,...I measured the meds into something else, then sucked it all into the dropper, then slide the end down the side of her mouth near the back,..like along where there teeth will be one day,..and she would take it fine like that,...could close her mouth around it and swollow. Never found the syringes good cos they were too large to fit comfortable in her mouth.

I hope it does. I suggested it to Liz (Arohanui) too, a while back , and it worked good for them too. Harry was a lot younger than Isla was when I was using it on her, so it should work for you. I had to ask the chemist as they werent on display.

What form is your Losec in? We used to be given the capsules, and we went through all the rigmarole of trying to grind the grains down and then mix them with water or milk and syringe into his mouth, only for it to be spat straight back out again.

In the end my Plunket nurse told me to just pour the granules straight from the capsule onto his tongue and then immediately feed him so that he swallows it all. Worked a treat!
