Is Pentom 40 And Baycip Tabs Causing Abdominal Pain?
Hi
I was having mild intermittent stomach pain and consulted a local doctor.
He suspected gastroenteritis and recommended medicines like Spasmonrindon and Baycip TZ.
During follow up, I told him about problems I am experiencing due to gas. And he gave me Pentom 40 (Pantaprazole) and Baycip tabs. After taking first dose of these meds, I am experiencing stomach pain.
Could you please tell me what could be the reason and should i stop using these medicines?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Intermittent mild stomach pains was suspected by your Doctor as Gastroenteritis and you took Spasmonrindon and Baycip TZ, Pentom 40 started later, Shifted to Plain Baycip.
Since you need antibiotics, you need to be changed to another antibiotic like Cefixime which is stomach-friendly, as you have got pain in abdomen which can be due to not responding to Baycip or due to gastritis .
Continue rest of the medicines.
It may take a few more days to get settled.
