Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dymetapp is brompheniramine/pseudoephedrine combination. Brompheniramine can cause constipation and stomach upset and pseudoephedrine can also add up to the stomach problems. Probably you are getting burning sensation due to acid peptic disease.
Though it's not worrisome; it's not advisable to leave it over long term.
I would have prescribed pantoprazole 20mg when you are taking the above medicine for around five days 20minutes before breakfast. If that doesn't resolve your stomach problem, I would have changed dymetapp.
