    Thanks to everyone who helped with my eye problem. I meant to post this too, but forgot. It seems like everytime I take my PTU, not too long later, I get a stomach ache. I would like to switch to Tapazole, but know it is alot more expen than PTU. Anyone know the average price of a months worth of Tapazole? I am one of those self-pay people and need to know if it is worth seeing the doctor to change it or if I should just continue to take Zantac an hour after I take my PTU. Thanks!

    Hi, Robin:

    Are you eating something with the PTU, or are you taking it on an empty stomach? Maybe eating something, or drinking a glass of milk with it, would eliminate the indigestion problem. It may be worth a try.

    And try calling a local pharmacist about the relative costs of Tapazole and PTU. But make sure you get a “monthly” cost, not a pill cost. Since you only take Tapazole once a day (I think) typically, you might be buying fewer pills.

    Take care,

    Bobbi
