Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn treatment over the counter

heartburn

Avatar n tn But, I would like to know if there is an over the counter medicine. I only get the urgency after a little stress. It stops after 10 hours or so on it's own. But, a cheaper "as needed" OTC medicine would sure be something I am interested in.
Avatar f tn An over the counter medication is any medication that can be purchased without a prescription "over the counter", but does not make the medication safer and needs to be taken according to the directions on the package and there is a need to be more vigilent and take into consideration individual health, the benefits versus the risks and potential interactions with any prescribed meidcations.

1707824 tn?1307891775 However, try some OTC (over the counter) medications for heartburn for 2-3 weeks and see if that helps. Prior to trying anything always consult your physician to make sure that it is safe for you to take.
1418633 tn?1314546745 Bill is right - Atarax/Vistaril/Hyrdroxyzine works wonders with the itching, but you need a prescription for it. Another over the counter med is Benadryl - readily available over here but not sure in India. In another thread some of us had commented on applying ice packs/cool towels which help in a pinch. Hope is subsides soon because it's really bothersome.
Avatar f tn t wanna take to many tums an over the counter medicines. I am 29 Weeks and get a little uncomfortable at night this is my first pregnancy an i don't like taking any over the counter things, I'd rather go all natural... So I got this stuff called CALM.... it's a natural Magnesium supplement and work's great for me!
Avatar f tn Milk, don't eat right before bed, lay down slowly and not all the way, prop yourself up a little with pillows, also over the counter relief that's safe for pregnancy is called Rennie it's a red box and quite cheap for how much you get per box (I got 42 pack)
Avatar f tn I have a cold an taking no medicine is killing me. Is there Any over the counter meds I can take?
4371309 tn?1357956329 My Dr at Kaiser said that the OTC and the ones they prescribe are the same. I didn't argue with her since she has the degree and just bough some from the pharmacy. When ever your next visit is with your OB check with her/him.
5079728 tn?1365549989 So any medication that you can go in and buy without a prescription is considered an over the counter medication. This would include every single med lined up on the shelves ..... pain killers, cough meds, diarrhea meds, nausea meds, stomach meds, anti-itching meds, everything. If I recall correctly, you have cirrhosis, so you really do have to be careful not to take anything that the doctor does not approve first.
765828 tn?1306263868 , there could be a serious reason why this is happening, i dont mean to scare you, it could be that you are constipated and pushing to much, but if the bowl is filled up, i would call your doctor right away, and this way, they can rule out different causes and hopefully get to the problem, i wouldnt take anything over the counter until i was seen by a doctor, good luck, let us know how you make out.
Avatar f tn yes yes, I am clean from Vicoden, Antidepresants but still am using a sleep aid, have been using over the counter meds for sleep since the 80's then went to prescription sleep aid and now I only sleep 3 or 4 hours using them. I am going to go off them soon. My Dr would like to see me wait until Jan just because I came off two meds this year and had surgery's but please don't go to prescription sleep aids I think it is harder to get off them than OCT.
Avatar m tn I end up running out and going through withdrawals which almost kill me each time from lack of sleep, not being able to eat and drink. i need some sound solid over the counter advice cause pm meds and pepto nor immodium work so help me please I am alone and need help.

Avatar f tn I also just bought a generic form of Zyantac over the counter medication to see if that helps, so far it is working (Zyantac is the only type of over the counter heartburn pill the doctor will allow me to take). I also like to drink water with ice in it.
Avatar f tn I've had it bad almost my whole pregnancy. I'm now 33 weeks and if I don't take over the counter Prilosec Id probably die!!
Avatar n tn Zantac is amazing, it that doesn't help within two days ask your OB or the pharmacist what other over the counter heartburn meds you can have.
