A member asked:
If i only have heartburn about once a month, is tums a better option than something like zantac (ranitidine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tums (calcium carbonate) OK.: If you get symptoms that infrequently, Tums (calcium carbonate) would probably give you relief more quickly than the other options for heartburn.
