I have heartburn and I am 9 weeks pregnant, what should I do?

Hello ma'am,

In order to better understand your needs, would it be possible to obtain the following information:

Thanks for the feedback!

There are several options available over the counter that are safe during pregnancy. Among others there is Graviscon which is fast acting but not very long acting, or Pepcid which is 8 to 12 hours acting. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you the other choices and put the information in your file and follow up closely with you.

I also suggest avoiding heavy, acidic or irritating foods (coffee, juices, very fatty foods) or in large quantities, and avoiding, among other things, going to bed too early after a meal.

I hope this has been helpful, I remain available if you have any further questions

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

It's my pleasure, please don't hesitate if there is anything!
