Common Questions and Answers about Can you take zantac and tums

zantac

Avatar f tn Tums, zantac or papaya pills are safe... tums arent strong enough for me and papaya pills worked in the beginning but the heartburn got too strong...
1088529 tn?1256844030 If you feel zantac is not enough for the acid problem, you can take tums or liquid anti-acid, but you need to space it apart- like wait at least a couple hours after taking your zantac to do it. Also, you should let your doctor know if the zantac is not sufficiently treating your symptoms. You might consider peptobismol if nausea ensues, again spacing it out from when you took the zantac, because tums may not be so great for nausea as it is heartburn.
Avatar f tn Yeah zantac is amaizing I take it once a day
7349088 tn?1390657733 I take Ranitidine 150mg at least once a day. I had my OB prescribe it to me but you can get it over the counter.
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!
Avatar f tn 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. I'm not sure why you've been "on and off" the Prozac, but that kind of pattern can lead to difficulties in tolerating the med...it can increase side effects, and decrease the efficacy. So, my advice is to just stick with it...take it regularly, as prescribed.
Avatar f tn yes, tums are my best friend. they were before I even became pregnant! I have really bad sinus drainage and stuff so I pop at the least 8 tums a day. not to mention, they are a good source of calcium, too!
Avatar f tn Your not suppose to take tums when your pregnant . I have really bad heart burn and I'm 38 weeks. It probably started around 20 weeks . But my dr gave me a prescription for Zantac and it helps a lot . I know you can get the knock off brand at like Sam's Club or maybe walmart .
Avatar f tn I live on Tums lol but I dint take more than 4 a day and I take two at a time. No they don't work that great but I do try and drink milk regularly and it only helps for a couple of minutes.
Avatar f tn s fine. You can also take Zantac while pregnant. Those were my best friend, especially later in pregnancy.
10678677 tn?1413254266 I take tums and just started some zantac. The zantac is a LIFESAVER!
Avatar f tn You can take Zantac before you get heartburn. Tums is typically after it has set in. To be on the comfortable side take Zantac prior to eating, look closely at what you are eating to cause the acid buildup i.e. orange juice, tomatoes and remove it from your diet, and adjust your sleeping to a more upright position.
Avatar f tn I'm in week 35 and I'm having very nasty heartburn night and day. Eating very little and non-greasy foods, but it won't stop and I need some relief. Milk won't help for very long and I read chamomille may be harmful during pregnancy. Any suggestions? I has an antacid and helped for an hour then the relief was gone...desperate!
Avatar f tn Tums was amazing in the beginning, but I eventually needed Zantac. Now I can't live without Zantac!
Avatar n tn Has anybody experienced something similar? And if you have, any instant relief tricks I can use? i am so tired and sad ..We just reached our 19 Weeks...
2048998 tn?1332791896 I've had acid reflux since my last pregnancy. Your doctor can give you omeprazole in pregnancy which help. If you dont want to take pill, don't eat anything spicy, no fizzy pops etc. Kept proped up in bed. Milk helps.
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
