  • My doctor told me if Tums doest work I can try Zantac, I am not sure if you need a prescription for that.

  • My OB said to try Pepcid.  It seems to be helping more than the Tums.

  • zantac 75  I get the generic from walmart works just the same for less the money

  • Pepcid was on my Dr's list of OTC meds I can take. I use it sparingly, but it has been my friend a few times already this pgcy!
  • My OB said Pepcid is safe. And it works!!
  • Zantac is my best friend.
  • I have been taking Prilosec every morning and havent had ANY heartburn in months,  It is awesome!
  • nothing worked for my heartburn that was over the counter. My doctor put me on a prescription because I couldn't sleep hardly at all and I haven't had any heartburn since. It has been wonderful =]
    Mom to 2 healthy boys, and a baby girl in Heaven. Heard her heartbeat on 7/18, heartbeat was gone on 7/20. Miss you forever.
  • Here is what I have tried with my docs blessing - started out with Tums (didn't work), switched to Zantac 75 and then on to 150 (again, no luck), now I am on Prilosec OTC with Tums and it's finally working.  I don't have heartburn per se, I have more reflux where I can't keep food down, especially at night.  BTW - the Prilosec says you can only take it for 14 days, I did that and it came back.  I am now on it every day ongoing per my doc.  You may want to ask yours though.

    This! No prescription needed. Or Prilosec OTC. I believe Zantac is cheaper though. It has been my saving grace this pregnancy.

  • Gaviscon!  It has saved my life.  You chew the tablets up and they turn into this foam and viola....heartburn immediately gone!
