Side Effects
I have experienced no side effects from AXID..

Additional Thoughts
Over the years doctors have prescribed everything on the market for me. The others either don't work for me or caused miserable side effects. Axid is the only medication that works for me. In my case, Proton Pump inhibitors don't work at all. Other H2 Blockers have unpleasant side effects. Axid gives me quality of life.

My son has been taking Axid for about 5 months (since he was 2 months old). He has Reflux and while the Axid doesn't do much to eliminate the Reflux, it has made his discomfort much better.

Side Effects
I experienced no side effects from using this drug.

Additional Thoughts
My doc initially prescribed Prilosec and Prevacid, each of which caused me stomach pain, diarrhea and other side effects. Axid gave me relief with absolutely no side effects. I was curious why AXID which has no known side effects is prescribed after first trying others which each have several KNOWN side effects. I suspect that it's because AXID doesn't have a a billion dollar ad campaign and an army of drug reps hyping it to the nation's doctors everyday. If you've experienced side effects with Prilosec, Nexium or Prevacid which are equal to or worse than the symptom for which they are prescribed, ask your doc to try AXID for you.

My son, 8 months old, has been on Axid since he was two months old as well. It does not stop his spitting up but it does seem to make him less uncomfortable.
