<s>[INST] I m pregnant (week 7) and have a chronic gastritis. I m off dexilant and my symptoms have worsen. I m barley eating. I ve read the omeprazole is the safest option to take. However, it gave my very bad side effects in the past. I m now wondering whether I could ask my doctor to prescribe pantoprazole. What would you recommend? [/INST] Hi and welcome to healthcare magic.Pantoprazole is not recommended in pregnancy.Please visit your general physician or obstetrician for prescription regarding gastritis.My recommendation would be methylpolysiloxane suspension. Still i would recommend a visit to your doctor before you start using it.Please write back if you have any more questions. </s>
