I started taking Zantac once I hit 5-6 tums a day.  I've barely had it since.  I only take it when I need it, but it always works.

I don't take tums.  My OB told me not to because while they work short term they actually encourage heartburn to come back.  I use zantac 75mg and mylanta.  Works like a charm....way better than tums.

I don't take Tums.  I take Pepcid Complete which is like regular Pepcid and Tums combined.  I like it because I can take it on a case by case basis (instead of daily like Zantax) and it works amazingly well.

Tums have never worked for my heartburn, so I've been doing zantac.  That's not doing much either, so I'm gonna be switching to Prilosec soon per my dr.'s suggestion.

I was told by my OB not to take tums. I have been taking Pepcid which seems to work.

Zantac is the only category B heartburn drug (aside from tums).  All others are C, and I won't be taking those.
