My Dr. has increased my dosage of Plaquenil and now I am having some stomach bloating and pain, has this happened to anyone else?
Ideallyyour Dr. would be the right person to advise you. However, in my experience MTX does give a little acidity to some patients for sometime. It could be relieved by taking agood anantacid like Pantaprazole - one tab of 40 mg inthe morning on an empty stomach daily for a few weeks. Consult your Dr. for further advice.
Thanks you, I have an appointment in a few weeks and will check with him then. Thanks for the advice on trying an antacid.
Yes! Those are the common side effects. When my doc doubled my dosage I found another unsightly effect... extremely gassy all day long
Oh goodie another side effect! I guess we can have gassy days together
