Prescription meds for heartburn
Which do you take & do you feel any side effects? I can't take it anymore. I have tried it all.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
I believe you can take Zantac. check with your doctor, maybe they can prescribe something stronger though. I have been taking Tums as needed. Mine hasn't gotten that bad... yet...

Zantac was my lifesaver. You need to take it consistently, though. It's not a short-term fix, it's long-term, so you need it in your system. Tums for immediate relief.

Talk to your doctor. Mine did not care how much I complained,they would not give rx meds. They recommended pepsid complete which worked much better than tums but there were still rough days.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
Been using Pepcid AC complete its so much better then tums and less chalky. I take it as I need it but can't take more than 2 in 24 hours.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
I had horrible heartburn with both of my kids. Tums did absolutely nothing. Zantac saved me.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
neither Zantac or Tums helped me. I just suffered with it. Thankfully it didn't last more than the first trimester. I expected it come back with a vengeance in the 3rd trimester but at 34 weeks I still feel ok.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
I had the worst heartburn. It was by far my worst preggo symptom. Tums did nothing--Zantac helped a lot.

Re: Prescription meds for heartburn
Thanks ladies! I have been suffering for months. Now that I am in my 3rd trimester, I'm trying the zantac. I hope it works.
How do you take it? Once in the morning? Even before the heartburn kicks in? Mine kicks in once I start any type of physical work like vacuuming, bending down to pick up toys from the floor, etc. It's usually bad around 5pm- bedtime.
