If 75 or 150 mg doesn't work, try two times 150 or 300 mg per day!. This is weak stuff compared to going UP to Nexium which has more risk and potentially harmful side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Zantac is an anti-histamine that reduces acid production!. It acts relatively quickly!. It doesn't take days to kick in like proton pump inhibitors (e!.g!. Prilosec)!. You can also take it preventatively if you anticipate eating a meal that frequently gives you heartburn (e!.g!. something with tomato sauce)!. You may need to take it for a few days, and you may not be taking a high enough dose!.
If you're an adult, you can usually take two of the generic tablets twice daily (four tabs per day at most)!. In the hospital, it's generally dosed higher than what the bottle says!. I think the bottle says to use only 1 tab twice a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
