Famotidine is Pepcid which works in the same way that Zantac works...I didn't have much luck on Zantac so now I'm on Prilosec and it works wonderfully...but famotidine is considered safer for pregnancy then prilosec...try the famotidine and if it doesn't work ask to get on a proton pump inhibitor heartburn medication rather then an H2 blocker
