As far as over the counter drugs goes, I only get them when I am out of my 'scrip. I am at the highest dose right now for the 'scrip, so when I run out, I am shit out of luck.
Zantac is the best over the counter stuff but it is still pricey, and I have to take two pills every 4 hours for it to work.
I do use all of this in conjunction with home remedies. Believe it or not, I take two tablespoons of vinegar when it is really bad. The vinegar counteracts the acid.
When you get heartburn, you should ensure that you sit up for a while. Lying down aggrevates the condition. Gravity is a splendid thing.
Foods/Liquids to avoid are coffee, cola, chocolate, tea to name a few.
