Protonix AND Rolaids?

Katie

I know this is a question for my doctor, I know! I have no way of contacting a doctor or pharmacist on the weekends! He just prescribed me Protonix Friday evening. I am supposed to take one in the morning and one at night, every day. Problem is, until it kicks in, I'm obviously still having heartburn from Hell. So, for those who have taken it and may know: can I take Rolaids as needed while on Protonix? Thanks so much!
