Likely safe: There isn’t as much info as we’d like, which is often the case for medication use in pregnancy. The drug’s manufacturer and other literature suggest there isn’t a higher risk of effects on the baby, but the drugmaker does not make a concrete recommendation. Your symptoms likely make continuation of a heartburn drug necessary, but loop your doctor into the decision-making process.
