zantac dosage during pregnancy

my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..

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.

Does anyone know if you can take Zantac 75 during your first trimester for heartburn? I took it with my first pregnancy, but it was a lot later in the pregnancy. I am dying here, and need a fix.

Um o cant remember if this is fact bit i do believe it is not ok. But double check. They usually say just drink milk. I forced the acid up n out then drank milk....that usually helped.

s not doing much for the pain and the stress on your body can harm your baby. There are stronger pain meds that can be prescribed during pregnancy and you really need to get to the bottom of what's causing this cough.

Acid reflux during early pregnancy is this normal? I would like some avise if anyone has been through this on what can I do to help it???

no, 200mg 2x/day isn't ever effective for suppressive therapy , even when not pregnant. Not in canada so I go by the ACOG recommendations as well as the extensive research by Dr Zane Brown who has done the majority of the research on herpes and pregnancy. The herpes handbook by Terri Warren, our herpes expert here in medhelp, also supports the dose I recommended. you never, ever, EVER have to take acyclovir if you don't want to, even during pregnancy.

Mine was too! I was eating at least 8 tums a day until my doctor suggested at my 28 week check up that I take Prilosec until the end of my pregnancy. I was worried at first because I didn't want to take anything that would harm my baby, but she reassured me that Prilosec & Zantac are safe during pregnancy. Zantac will help fight symptoms after the fact for up to 12 hours & Prilosec will stop symptoms before they start all day.

No160, then if Zantac isn't ok during pregnancy try Prilosec. That's the one the doctor let me take til my last trimester and then because NOTHING else worked he put me on zantac. Also, If dramamine didn't work for you, there are a couple things the doctor can prescribe that can be SAFE to take. I don't remember the names right now, but there are definitely things out there that can help with any issues your facing and still be safe to baby.

The dosage is low for me so I take one in the morning with breakfast and the next one I take it for dinner. Tums does not work for me either. Milk helps me when I run out of my meds. Just be alittle more cautious with what you eat that way you can monitor what gives you heartburn.

t imagine drinking that my husband does though he has bad heartburn but most over the counter antacids are safe during pregnancy as long as you use only as directed tums,and zantac are a few if your symptoms are more severe then normal you should take to your doctor about getting a prescription

m drowning and sometimes at night I throw up in my mouth.

Tums or Zantac. I exceeded the daily dosage on Tums so my doctor told me to take Zantac Maximum Strenghth.

Yes, it's safe. I had a pre exsisting acid problem before pregnancy, my dr told me zantac is the safe over the counter medicine to take.

Zantac is perfectly safe during pregnancy. I had horrible heartburn and that is what my doctor told me to get. Lifesaver.

It says tramadol is category C though. If you don't know what that means just type in goggle pregnancy category C.

Eat Fresh Grapefruit Sweetie. Its extremely effective at reliving heartburn and indigestion.

I was on omneprezerol before pregnancy, doctor said to only take if absolutely necessary. I read aboyt papaya during my first pregnancy and it was AMAZING! I am now 36 wks in my third pregnancy and gave been heartburn free as long as i eat a small bowl each night.

u can take rennies

I use roliads and they work wonders!!!

My understanding is that Prilosec had not been assigned a category for pregnancy by the FDA because its effects during pregnancy are unknown. Not taking the Prilosec until you have spoken about this with your doctor on Thursday as a wise idea - in the meantime, you can take tums (or a generic equivalent) to help w/ the heartburn. I hope you feel a little better soon.

My husband & doctor (dh is a pharmacist) believe it or not let me take Gas-X for my bloating as that seemed to help me but I was severly constipated too which was part of the problem. The indigestion & bloating are both very normal during pregnancy - you could try the above OTC & you could also ask about taking Tums. It's a mild antacid. There's also eating small meals - don't eat a whole lot at one time, try 7-up or Ginger-ale & soda crackers.

If you are hypothyroid, medication MUST be taken during pregnancy with close monitoring to keep TSH in the 0.3-2.0 range and many women need a dose increase during pregnancy. Untreated hypothyroidism can cause neurological development problems, miscarriage, pre-term delivery and other problems.

It worked wonders and I highly recommend it. Zantac is considered to be the safest during pregnancy. My prescription was for 150mg twice a day, but I only took it once a day (around 4:30pm) just because I was paranoid about taking meds while pregnant. Tums was like chewing air, it did nothing for me either. Sorry you're experiencing the reflux too - it is miserable, but it DOES go away after delivery. Hang in there!
