im supposed to take a whole pill, but i have to cut it in half because i cant swallow pills, so i took the smaller half first, then i tried taking the bigger half, but i kept choking.

so i took the small half, waited about 15 minutes, then had some chicken noodle soup.



my stomach is starting to hurt, like alot of pressure, but i dont think its gas or anything. i havent had my period this month yet and im not sexually active.

do you think this was from only taking half of what i should have?

ive been taking zantac for a month now.

thanks everyone!

You aren't suppose to break Zantac. I would suggest taking an antacid to help relieve the pain and ask your doctor for a script for Zantac granules which you can dissolve in water instead of having to swallow pills if you have trouble swallowing. Zantac granules should be mixed with 6 to 8 ounces of water before drinking. If the pain is still there in 4 to 6 hours, contact your doctor.

Lower doses of medicine, won't make your stomach hurt, unless you're addicted to a certain medication, and you're having withdrawal symptoms.



You can rule out being pregnant.



Possibly your period, gas, or the soup. If the pain doesn't cease by tonight (and its not crampy like your period) I'd schedule a doctor appointment.



Hope you feel better.
