Question 1

is it okay to take rolaids in between my morning and nightly dose of zantac (ranitidine) during pregnancy? just taking zantac (ranitidine) alone doesn't seem to work.

Accepted Answer

Depends...: What are you treating? If just indigestion, then antacids consumed 1 ; 3 hours after a meal and at bedtime may be helpful in the majority of patients, but may be too high a dose for a pregnant one. Don't know what your zantac (ranitidine) dose is either, ; perhaps with consent from your obstetrician this medication can be optimized. Stick with gerd diet and behavior restrictions (see prior healthtap answers.

Question 2

is it ok to take three zantac 150s per day? over the course of the day

Accepted Answer

Yes but: If you need to take Zantac regularly to control your symptoms, it may be a good idea to check with your doctor and consider getting an upper endoscopy.

Question 3

can i take gaviscom with zantac?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: Your pharmacist can be very helpful in answering questions like this or about any of your medications. You can take both, but take the zantac on an empty stomach as gaviscon can interfere with its entry into the stomach or its digestion.

Question 4

Question 8

Should be ok: These are diiferent classes of medication and should be safe to take together. As always, when taking multiple medications seek the advice of your physician to make sure there is no unique problem to you that you preclude the use of these medications.

Question 9

can i take zantac (ranitidine) in the morning and tagament at night?

Accepted Answer

Both h2 blockers: They are both in a class of acid medicines called h2 blockers. They should be comparable in their effectiveness. I would stick to the one that works best for you.

Question 10

i took a zantac (ranitidine) 150(generic) how long should i wait to take maalox?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: Zantac (ranitidine) will decrease acid production and Maalox will help buffer the acid already in your stomach.  For my patients having indigestion I usually recommend a drug like Zantac (ranitidine) taken as instructed on package insert along with an antacid like Maalox taken after each meal and at bedtime.
