Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

For heartburn, you could try taking Tablet Zantac 150 mg twice daily half an hour before meals. You could also try taking an antacid like Tablet TUMS 1 tablet twice daily. These medications are available over the counter without doctor's prescription.

You should also try the following lifestyle modifications:
a. Elevate your head by putting 2 pillows below your head.
b. Take small, frequent meals.
c. Avoid taking spicy foods, carbonated beverages, alcohol and smoking.
d. Avoid taking excessive caffeinated products like coffee.
e. Milk helps relieve heartburn to a great extent.
f. Take food at least 2-3 hours before going to bed.

If you do not get relief with these steps, you would need drugs belonging to category proton pump inhibitor which can be obtained on prescription from your physician.

I hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further questions.

Regards.
