Excellent information about umbilical hernias and the side effects of commonly prescribed drugs! I have personal experience with several of the drugs discussed on this thread. Making an educated decision to use a prescribed or OTC drug is important. If it becomes necessary to use them being prepared for their side effects is essential so they can be remedied hopefully without further medication. Years ago I became aware of the side effects of antacids; calcium malabsorption being the most concerning. Another family member who was prescribed daily antacids along with other medications had constant bacterial issues with their stomach and eventually developed ulcers. It took some time to undo the damage, but we have learned from our experiences.
