7714818 tn?1394784539 You can take Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta, Simethicone, Zantac, Pepcid, Prilosec. I've gotten heart burn bad the past 2 weeks but lately haven't had it.
Avatar n tn I have Acid Reflux and had some of it in the beginning of tx. Drinking something Cold and fizzy helps, but taking Prevacid, Zantac, Tagament, etc. (if they are okay on tx) should help too. If you don't feel relief soon, be sure to go to a GI doc, as you don't want to damage your esophagus. www.purplepill.
Avatar f tn Try to avoid carbonated drinks and try not to eat too fast, because you will swallow more air, increasing the gas and bloating. Check with your doctor first, but you should be able to take simethicone for the gas and Zantac for indigestion/heartburn, but as I said, verify that your doctor is okay with you taking those, most docs are.
Avatar f tn I was put on a prescription med and then I could eat anything I wanted without pain, but the script ran out and cannot afford any more doctor visits or tests so I take Zantac OTC only when I have symptoms and that has made all the difference for me... If I am anxious about something, I don't feed the anxiety any food that might cause pain.
Avatar f tn Hypermagnesemia, hypomagnesemia, and increased tendon reflexes have been reported in infants whose mothers were using aluminum and magnesium containing antacid products chronically and in high or excessive doses during their pregnancy. No congenital defects have been reported with the use of simethicone. Animal studies with simethicone-coated cellulose suspension have not revealed maternal or fetal toxicity; however, animal studies are not always predictive of human risk.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm taking a berry flavored product from WalMart (their store brand "Equate") and it costs $3.99 for 100 chewable tablets. On the bottle, it says Equate Multi-symptom Antacid Antigas. Active ingredients: calcium carbonate, 675 mg; magnesium hydroxied, 135 mg; and simethicone,60 mg. (anti-gas). It also says it compares to Rolaids Multi-symptom's active ingredients, and you can take up to 8 tablets in 24 hours.

7349088 tn?1390657733 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.
3055148 tn?1368211800 I ran out of the 75 mg of zantac but I have equate 150 mg its the same thing as zantac but just the.generic brand. Is it ok to take that?
Avatar f tn My doc actually gave me a prescription for my acid reflux it works really good to... I had to use it with my first too...my acid reflux would get to the point where I couldn't even stand talking.. It's called Ranitidine ..
1088529 tn?1256844030 I've just started taking zantac, and I don't know if I'll have any side effects, or if my regular symptoms (stomach pain, upset stomach) will become apparent or come back. My question is this; if I get nauseous, stomach pain, upset stomach etc. as a side effect or other, can I take tums to calm my stomach down? Or will it just make things worse? I can't talk to my doctor because (a) don't have an appointment and (b) am too young to drive there or get an appointment myself.
484160 tn?1343397921 After month upon month of frustration, the wife goes and buys hubby some extra strength Zantac and within three hours he was wanting a cheeseburger. When the doctors came in that afternoon I asked them to give it a try. After a bit of condescending attitude on the doctor's part, he said, well, it can't hurt her so if that's what you want we will give it a try. It has now been a week since she was released from the hospital and so far, so good.
Avatar n tn But whenever I stand for long time or after sleep, I have the feeling of gas accumulation, which presses my pelvic floor causing pain there and the lower back region. I am not taking anymore simethicone. But the bloaty feeling and pain in the lower back and pelvic region still persists. Is it because of the levothyroxine medication? Should I try branded drug instead of generic ones as discussed in some forums.
Avatar m tn Go to the pharmacy and get something made to break up gas (with simethicone) like Gas-X, MyTab or Phazyme, and take it. If it solves the problem, you'll know that was what it was. The part where you said it is difficult to stand up straight is what I was reacting to. That sounds more extreme than gas, but I guess if there is a lot of gas, it's possible.
Avatar m tn I had my gall bladder removed in 2009 but lately I been getting these episodes of burping and this nagging pain in my back not sure what to take for a little relief until I can see the doctor on monday
Avatar m tn Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.
Avatar f tn t zantac but it is the same ingredient you drop it in a half cup water and it foams up and you quickly drink it. It is OTC. If zantac is safe this should be too. Thanks so much. Also i read that taking any antacid like tums and rolaids can have a reaction with the prozac. Is this true i was too scared to try Tums.
Avatar f tn Go pick up zantac 150 or 75 mg. 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 I had it prescribed for me when I was getting gas stuck in a sharp curve of intestine on the right- once after each meal and I think maybe at bedtime too many years ago. I use simethicone for gas as needed now. Also, sometimes exercise may be helpful in moving gas along.
