Question : What can replace Prilosec for a duodenal ulcer and what can replace lovenox for blood clots in legs?

Answered by Dr. Nikul Patel (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
there are alternatives.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

As per age of patient and the current problems of Ulcer and blood clot, there are alternatives available under ayurveda. Two of those that are commonly used is specified below. I will start these if you were my patient.
1. XXXXXXX Panchamrut (Mukta yukta) 2 tabs twice a day - this is prilosec alternative.
2. Aarogyavardhini vati 1 tab twice a day - alternative to lovenox.

You can replace for Prilosec quickly. But I will only gradually reduce lovenox after a month. Until then both the remedial drugs can be taken together. Please discuss with your local doctor.
