Zantac wearing off too quickly?

[Bippidee]

Has anyone else found Zantac / ranitidine great for a while (like a week or so) then it beginning to not be as effective?

I take one 150mg in the morning and another in the evening, but today have really noticed my heartburn beginning to creep up on me again.

Yes! I think I'm going to go back to GP and see if I can get omeprazole. I have started taking probiotics and am actually finding that I don't always need to take the evening dose of ranitidine anymore!

Rantidine never touched my heartburn :-( But Omeprazole evaporated it after 24 hours. It's worth seeing if you can get it from your GP, it is much stronger.

Thank you!

I second what crispy says.. Omeprazole was like a magic cure for me!

GP was more than happy to prescribe as supposed to be slightly safer in pregnancy than ranitidine.
