A member asked:
Started zpak this morning, it's evening and i have horrible heartburn, can i take rolaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can take Rolaids now. Tomorrow take your pill with food in the morning (but not with any dairy products, like milk, ice cream, or yogurt, which can affect absorption). Take Rolaids 30 minutes before and 1 hour after that meal and as needed during the day. Avoid caffeine and other spicy foods or those that usually give you heartburn, too. Hopefully it will not bother your stomach this way.

Why do rolaids make my heartburn feel worse (after taking prozac)?
I have really bad heartburn. I ran out of usual med prilosec. Is there a home remedy that will relieve heartburn. Tums (calcium carbonate) or rolaids didn't help at all.
Best recommended OTC drug for random heartburn? No prilosec. Tums (calcium carbonate) and rolaids make me vomit. Nothing to chew. Rather a preventative than an as needed.
