"I had ablation surgery three weeks ago and have been on Pradaxa 150 mg twice a day ever since. During the first week, I had a constant sour stomach, and my surgeon suggested Prilosec. It takes a few days before Prilosec kicks in, so I took Mylanta until it did. My second and third weeks were much easier, but now that I'm starting my fourth week, the constant sour stomach is back. I still take Mylanta between meals, but it only helps a little. I take Pradaxa during meals with a full glass of water. I have to stay on this medicine five more weeks. Any suggestions would be appreciated."
