HOW ZEGERID OTC WORKS FOR YOUR FREQUENT HEARTBURN
Zegerid OTC works differently from other OTC heartburn products, such as antacids and other acid reducers. Zegerid OTC stops acid production at the source - the acid pump that produces stomach acid. Zegerid OTC is to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days.
TIPS FOR MANAGING HEARTBURN
Do not lie flat or bend over soon after eating
Do not eat late at night or just before bedtime
Certain foods or drinks are more likely to cause heartburn, such as rich, spicy, fatty and fried foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol and even some fruits and vegetables
Eat slowly and do not eat big meals
If you are overweight, lose weight
If you smoke, quit smoking
Raise the head of your bed
Wear loose-fitting clothing around your stomach
