Is it ok to drink ginger tea while on tecta (pantoprazole magnesium) ? how long does it take for tecta to relieve heartburn? thanks for your time.

Tecta & ginger tea: Tecta reaches optimal effect in 2-6 hrs depending on dose; also has long half-life; so should give 24-hr relief. Ginger tea widely recommended for heartburn. Mixed opinions by docs & users in re its effect on lower esophageal sphincter & reflux. Try them individually; then together & go with treatment that gives u best results. Limiting (food) triggers also helps.

Works fast: Pantoprazole works fast. It should relieve heart burn in a few days.
