silocolgel. can you get it on prescription

Hi I've been looking into silocolgel for acid reflux. I had a oesophagectomy done in January 2016. I am still suffering with very bad acid reflux it's driving me mad. I have a medicine phone review this afternoon as I have moved home and doctors. Some on macmillan site mentioned it. The reviews look quite tempting. Was wondering if I can get it on prescription. I will ask about it today. I was on ranitidine and Lansoprazole but they have taken ranitidne off the market. They tried me on other replacement medication that made me quite ill. I'm struggling to move on in my life as I'm in pain all the time. The doctors don't know what to do with me. They keep saying I've had sickness and diarrhea bugs when I haven't it's just how this illness and surgery has left me. Any feed back would be very helpful. TIA x

  • Hi Tia and welcome to the forum.

    I hope your medicine review went well and you were able to get your questions about silocolgel answered but if not, I just thought I'd give you our cancer nurses telephone number so you can have a chat with them about this as well. Their phone number is 0808 800 4040 and they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope things start to improve soon Tia.

    Kind regards,
