Common Questions and Answers about Zantac liquid otc
zantac
t resolved with over the counter remedies, such as a liquid anti-acid (GI doctor office claims this is better than chewable anti-acids because it coats), OTC strength acid reducing medication, or peptobismol (or generic), as well as giving your stomach a break from aggravating foods (used to be prescribed a 48-72 hour clear liquid diet when I had gastritis if I recall correctly), it's time to take a trip to the doctor.
Hi, have you ever tried Zantac? Take the Zantac 150 (or two 75's) in the morning and before dinner at night, or before bed, whichever you prefer.
I have had heartburn forever and I tried the prescription meds, but I feel the Zantac works the best. But 75 is not enough, make sure you take 150 mg. twice a day. Also, you can supplement it with Mylanta or Maalox liquid if it's really bad.
I'm not saying this will be a miracle cure, but it's worth a try.
By taking a medication off prescription and making it OTC the NHS saves money and the pharmaceutical company make more money because presumably more people will by it when they don't need a prescription.
The reason you think Rannitidine is less effective is because the placebo effect has been removed.In fact both drugs are equally effective. Otherwise the generic version would not have been licenced.
Hi again,
i just wanted to let you know that before I joined this Forum I had left a message on the FDA's question line. They had not gotten back to me so I thought I'd never hear back. Today, however, I did hear back from them. I asked them about whether the meds. and supplements that I've been taking, and especially Verapamil, Zantac and Prilosec OTC could possibly cause an elevation in liver enzymes.
Are you prescribed Zantac? Or, are you talking about the OTC preparation? Zantac is a very safe medication, it probably wouldn't be an issue for you to try it...run it by your doc first.
These meds can cause all kinds of GI Upset, so it could very well be the Prozac. Have you ever been diagnosed with GERD? Have you ever just tried taking a few Tums? That may work also. Tums can be very effective, and they are completely safe.
Make sure you are taking the Prozac as prescribed.
Doctor gave me peptac liquid.
I also use Zante for my horrific heart burn and acid reflux. I wished I could still take my Prilosec one a day everyday and I never had ANY problems! But unfortunately it's not on the recommended list of otc meds to take , but I'm not positive it's harmful.

How can I treat her at home or how can I get her Dr to maybe prescribe Zantac so she can keep down the antibiotic. She’s hydrated ahd drinking fluids basically. How can I help her at home until I can calm down her mild nausea. ? They do sell OTC anti nausea medicines but again I’m stik in a hard spot at the moment. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:) Thank you in advance!
Hello Gavali and welcome to MedHelp.
It sound like things are pretty well. A comprehensive metabolic panel and complete blood count are all the lab testing required to monitor changes in liver function. Have these panels ran twice annually. A healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight will also prevent liver disease.
It sounds like you are having some digestive disorders such as GERD. GERD is caused by frequent acid reflux — the backup of stomach acid or bile into the esophagus.
Take some OTC antacid like Mylanta. You can also take zantac(ranitidine)or prilosec (omeprazole).These will help. Also keep your fluid electrolyte balance optimum by drinking lots of fluids.
If the symptoms worsen then it may be due to H.Pylori infection. You need antibiotics in that case after prescription from a physician.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
