I asked the doctor yesterday what his best recommendation would be for my heartburn since even water gives it to me. Hs said to get Zantac 150 or the generic Ranitidine150s and take one first thing in the morning and the other 12 hours later...so twice daily.
He told me to throw away my tums since I have been taking the max+ dose for more than a month and he doesnt want me to risk kidney stones. Instead he said if I need a quick fix to try mylanta. He said it will last longer as well.
I took my generic pill this morning and no heartburn as of yet and that is definitely a first!
Re: My fellow heartburn sufferers
the zantac just doesnt help me. maybe i'm not taking enough.
Thanks for the info! I have been taking Tums but it doesn't seem to be working - I have even woken up to heartburn several hours after I go to sleep at night. I have to try Zantac...
