destinedtofindher 5 Posted November 10, 2015 This heartburn is killing me. I'm 2 weeks post op. What OTC brands are safe to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4MRB4PHOTO 3,900 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I am not a doctor, nor do I even play one on TV. Contact your surgeon's office, they know your medical history, your procedure and will recommend what OTC heartburn meds or if you need a PPI, amount and duration to take. Also, if you are taking any other prescription meds they will take that into effect. I hope you feel better very soon.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 10, 2015 I agree, call your doctor. Typically a PPI is preferred over an ant-acid like tums because they can effect Calcium levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
