Follow a bland diet with foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, yogurt, and ginger, avoiding spicy, fatty, and acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and chocolate to help manage gastritis symptoms.
**Response:**
**Answer:**
Quetiapine (an antipsychotic) can commonly cause **gastric irritation** as a side effect. Here’s how to manage it with **Nexpro 40** (esomeprazole, a PPI):
### **1. Timing of Nexpro 40:**
- **Best taken in the morning**, **30 minutes before breakfast** (on an empty stomach).
- This ensures **optimal acid suppression** throughout the day.
- **Avoid taking it just before quetiapine**—PPIs work better with consistent daily dosing.
### **2. Additional Measures:**
✔ **Take quetiapine with a light snack** (reduces gastric irritation).
✔ **Avoid spicy/acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol** (aggravate acidity).
⚠ **Monitor for:**
- Worsening abdominal pain, black stools (possible GI bleeding).
- Long-term PPI use may need reassessment after **4-8 weeks**.
### **3. When to Adjust?**
- If symptoms persist, **dose timing of quetiapine** may need review (e.g., splitting doses).
- **Alternative**: Switch to **pantoprazole/rabeprazole** if Nexpro isn’t effective.
