Avatar f tn Tums didnt do the job for me and zantac 75 stopped working also...
3055148 tn?1368211800 I couldnt even drink water without getting heartburn. Zantac stopped most of it i then stopped taking 20 tums a day anfld only needed them maybe once every few days (not at all if i remembered to take my zantac first thing in the morning and at night!
Avatar f tn If 75 mg take 1 pill twice daily and then take tums as needed. Zantac should prevent the heartburn but if it doesnt work on occasion take tums (i normally take 4 extra strength tums or 2 ultra strength at a time) I was prescribed zantac 75 mg twice a day with my first baby and told to take tums if for some reason zantac doesnt help so its perfectly safe!
7349088 tn?1390657733 Has anyone taken zantac during pregnancy for heartburn? I'm 22+5 and have heartburn almost every other day. Sometimes it's so bad that I just want to sleep so i don't feel it.
Avatar f tn Tums and i are best friends lol. Doc always said it's just an extra dose of calcium!!
Avatar f tn My doc told me to take Zantac once before bed and once when I wake up and to take tums with calcium in between. I also find that drinking a lil bit of sprite helps because it makes me burp and it relieves a lot of the burning and uncomfortable pain.
Avatar f tn Both Tums and Zantac are safe per my doctors though I'd start with Tums (and do not take additional calcium supplements when you are on Tums).
Avatar f tn Ask your Dr., but mine just ok'd Zantac, the Tums just weren't cutting it anymore. The 75mg seems to be working well enough for me. I didn't take it this afternoon because I hate taking something every day, but I just took one because I'm miserable.
Avatar f tn I did all the milk And tums and gaviscon first and ended up needing zantac...
11129330 tn?1430878608 Tums and zantac. If it doesn't help tell your dr and dr will perscribe you with something better. For me no medication iver the counter worked so i got a prescription for a medicine that does miracles!
Avatar f tn Zantac 150 is what I take!
Avatar f tn I was told by my Obgyn to use Tums for short-term, and Zantac, for longer-term heartburn, just like bnl said. I'm not a doctor, but since my doctor said it was okay, I did both in 2nd trimester. Now in my 3rd trimester, I occasionally use the Tums. They both worked well for me.
4371309 tn?1357956329 for heartburn you can try drinking milk, or medication wise tums and zantac 75mg or 150 up to twice a day is ok to take during pregnancy, personally zantac is what has worked best for me
Avatar f tn Thanks so much ladies. It's gotten so bad to where even water is making me feel terrible ! I went and got some tums and Zantac hopefully it helps !
Avatar f tn I have had it most of my pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I also take pepcid for heartburn, way better than eating chalk and it works like a dream! Call your doctor and double check to make sure it's fine for you to start taking it!
Avatar f tn Listen to your body..try to avoid foods that cause heartburn for you.
11278126 tn?1419304633 Tums or Zantac. I exceeded the daily dosage on Tums so my doctor told me to take Zantac Maximum Strenghth.
