Who has used Zantac ?

[Olive]

Have you tried accupunture?
I had it during the last trimester and he also addressed my reflux.

With my other two pregnancies heart burn nearly killed me. I was in so much pain. Nothing worked. The ob prescribe me rani and another one on a prescription. It was a heaven sent. I had to take twice daily it was that bad. I would vomitt in my sleep. This one and I'm 18 weeks and it's slowly starting. Not eating at night helped and eating thinks like cakes and breads...

I've used zantac, helped quite a bit. I figured my other option was oesophageal damage and sleeplessness. Just let your care provider know you're taking it I guess, but mine never blinked. Milk can be a mixed blessing; instant relief, but about 30 mins later I think as your stomach digests it, it can get pretty uncomfy. If zantac doesn't work, then see about talking to your doc. I've also heard great things about acupuncture, but since zantac worked for me (and was cheaper and more convenient than acupuncture) I went with that. If you want to avoid zantac, that could be worth a shot. Hope you get some relief, it's awful isn't it.

I used it in my pregnancy with DD 2 on the suggestion of my OB. No side effects and it was a god send for me.

Ranitidine is Cat B1 in pregnancy (in Australia) meaning it is perfectly safe to use. I think it's much better than putting up with the horrible heartburn and reflux! It works pretty quickly, and is longer lasting than antacids (it prevents the production of stomach acid, which causes the burn) . Have you had a chat with your OB or GP regarding Pariet in pregnancy? It is also a B1 category, it is usually preferred that people try Zantac first, but if you were on it before, they would probably be happy with you continuing on. But pop into your pharmacy and have a chat with your pharmacist - we can help!
