Brief Answer:
yes, this would be fine

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are a lot of medications that can be used for heartburn. Xanax was checked against prilosec, prevacid, nexium,protonix, pepcid, zantac, tums.

There is a minor interaction between xanax and prilosec and xanax and nexium. Nexium and prilosec interact mildly with this medication, they slow down its breakdown slightly can cause a slight increase in levels.
This can possibly occur if they are used together and as mentioned, the effect is minor.

Xanax can be used with heart burn medication.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
