" Ruth try this link it will take you to Medline Plus. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus...

Then look at the side effects. It appears that you could an "upset stomach" while taking this medication. You just might need to eat prior to taking this med or take a med like Prilosec. Ask your Dr. he can help you. I hope this helps. Just remember that not every person will get every side effect that is listed:) I used to work in Pharmaceutical Research prior to getting sick. "
