Yea you could, but they wear off fast...
Yes and hopefully it works for you. It doesn't really help me. But I don't have it till I'm asleep and all of a sudden I have acidy something in my throat. It's like I haven't eaten in days but having reflux up in my throat. Horrible.
Try Pepcid my dr recommended one in the morning before I eat and one at night it helps plus you can take it with tums if it comes during the day!
You may have both. I do! Nothing has worked but milk. My doctor told me Pepcid; I've tried Tums and Zantac as well and it hasn't worked.
