7349088 tn?1390657733 ve had other pregnant women tell me zantac is way to go. My dr just keeps saying tums. I go February 4th for next appointment. I'm going to talk to her then.
3055148 tn?1368211800 Has anyone ever taken Zantac? My doctor told me to take that everyday instead of taking tums b/c they are pointless, but I kinda don't wanna take medicine.
1328947 tn?1295011446 ZANTAC, ZANTAC, ZANTAC!!! I started getting it early with this pregnancy too, and at 11 weeks I asked for it because it helped when I was pregnant with Elijah. It's AWESOME!!! I've only had it maybe two times since in the last 3, almost 4 weeks. Try to avoid foods that will make it worse, like tomato sauces, or acidic things like orange juice...I hope it gets better soon!!!
593603 tn?1229378162 My RE and my OB both said I could take Zantac 150 - - didn't want me to take Pepto Bismol (b/c it has aspirin in it) or Prilosec OTC (it's a category C).
9616417 tn?1404867488 Im in my 7th week and my acid reflux is aweful! Does anyone know if Zantac is safe? Tums are not working...

1827365 tn?1410506306 I'm 24 weeks pregnant and have been having terrible heartburn for the last weeks. My doctor prescribed Zantac and I can take up to 2 tablets, one every 12 hours. The thing is, today is the first day I had to take 2! These last days one was enough, and today, honestly, none of the tablets have worked. I'm so worried, plus, still have this heartburn and have no clue how to deal with it! It's so uncomfortable and painful! :( Has any of you been through this?

Avatar f tn i had to take a zantac in the morning then durring the day tums and then another zantac an hour befor i ate dinner and it still hurt to where i was crying some nights. and you best believe the old wives tell was true for me, my baby had a head full of hair and hasnt lost any of it.
949222 tn?1266834907 I used zantac and it worked pretty well...I have a hiatal hernia so my indigestion during pregnancy was absolutely unreal and hurt so bad. Like m3lanie, I used to drink a glass of milk with a spoonful of (sweet) cream when it was bad, too. I couldn't take tums or any other of the calcium-based antacids because I have semi-chronic calcium kidney stones and they ARE chronic when I'm pregnant due to the different calcium absorption rates while you're pregnant...
280369 tn?1316702041 I've never been told it's unsafe. When I was pregnant I had HORRIBLE acid reflux and was taking it 2 times a day for weeks. I would fall asleep drinking water and slept sitting up in an effort to reduce it, but nothing other than Zantac worked. I hope you get relief soon! Acid reflux is horrible.
Avatar f tn I have been using tums and Zantac 75 when it's really bad. Make sure if you take Zantac your doc approves first.
4371309 tn?1357956329 Im pregnant and it was distrubing to me everytime I ate something im having a heart burn. It says when u were 9weeks pregnant its natural to have a heart burn but its irritating me. I would like to ask if theres a remedy that wouldnt harm my baby. I just want to eat like i was before. Plssss plsss help me.
Avatar f tn My dr says zantac is ok to take...I had a pre-existing stomach problem before I got pregnant, and the zantac works great!
Avatar f tn Is Zantac safe to take while pregnant? 17 days until my due date & acid reflux is keeping me up.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Can you take anything for it? Zantac is the only thing that helps me with reflux. I don't have the same problems you do, though. I get acid reflux, acid indigestion and heartburn but only when I'm pregnant. With my son it didn't start until I was 30 something weeks, but with this baby it started at 11 weeks. Towards the end with my son I was taking zantac once a day but my dr has me on 150 mg twice a day now.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies.iam 20 weeks pregnant and have really bad heart burn. I have try milk and nothing.
Avatar f tn Throughout the day and when I go to sleep or in the middle of the night I get this burning feeling in my throat, to the point where I almost throw up. Does anyone else get this sensation, or what I can do to stop/prevent it? I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant.
Avatar f tn I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant and have heartburn!! I never had it before, I'm eating these damn tums and THEY ARE not helping. Its so bad, I wanna puke!! Any advice? I've tried cold milk, didn't work!!
Avatar f tn Zantac is great for a 12 hr fix when sypmtoms start, but Prilosec is also safe during pregnancy & prevents symptoms from even starting. My doctor put me on once daily Prilosec in the morning on an empty stomach & I haven't had one bout of heartburn in 5 weeks.Check it out & see if it's something for you.
Avatar f tn So my doctor prescribed me zantac for heartburn.. he said to take it at night and i do but everyday around 4pm my heartburn comes back.. is it ok to take it at 4pm instead of 9pm at night? Im 33 weeks pregnant..
