Is zantac a proton pump inhibitor?
No it´s a histamine-2blocker, be very careful with PPI´s if abused they will fuck you up, I learnt it the hard way.
Is zantac a proton pump inhibitor?
Hey all, I've been experiencing muscle cramps in my triceps, biceps/forearms, chest, lats and abs. The abdominal and chest cramps are especially painful and last on and off for 5 minutes. I've been working out 10 years and this has never happened in these areas. I'm concerned there's some kind of health issue. This started a month after taking a proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. Just looking for a little insight.

I had that happen to me really bad, so bad that I had to stop taking the medicine. I take another drug now and I am fine. I was getting really bad "Charlie horses" at night in my adductor muscles. It was so bad that it felt like the muscle would tear off the bone. So bad that one night I had my wife take me to the ER. I was concerned that my potassium or some electrolyte was off but all the blood tests turned up normal. They could not find a single thing to explain my issue. All the doctors told me that the drug couldn't cause the cramps, but once I stopped taking it the problem went away! I haven't had an issue since.
I might have mentioned this already but I sometimes get cramps so bad that I get pulled down to the floor by my hamstrings and abductors and then they lock up and I have to sit there on the gym floor like an idiot for 10 minutes. Then make it To a seat and wait a half hour.
It was being caused by stims but I never had that problem when I was younger.
