Hi,
Only antisecretory agents like PPI and H2RA should be stopped 5-7 days prior to the test.
Antacids like Tums and Rolaids can be taken till one day prior to the test.

Hi,
Yes, Nexium is a PPI and Zantac is a H2RA.

I suppose Nexium 40mg and Zantac 150mg each day that I was taking are considered either PPI and/or H2RA? Those are what I was instructed to stop 5-7 days prior to the test. Thank you!
