Tums every day?

Question

Is it ok to take 2 maximum strength tums everyday? I suffer from bad heartburn but my routine lately of eating a banana and taking 2 tums before bed has been helping. I’m only 17 weeks pregnant. Is it safe to take 2 tums every day my entire pregnancy?? I will ask my doc at my next appt, but curious if anyone else takes them every day.

Answer

Yes, safe. I’d ask your doctor about something a bit longer lasting because it’s likely only going to get worse. My doctor told me I could take Pepcid AC during my last pregnancy.

Answer

On a lot of pack of tums if says do not exceed 7. I have been eating tums since week 10 of my pregnancy and I’m 39 weeks now. I eat about 5 a day because the heartburn is so bad. Just confirm with your OB, but mine said it’s okay.

Answer

Yes

Answer

Yes, on a med sheet I got from an OB it says up to 10 in 24 hours, doesn't specify regular, ultra, or maximum strength though. You should be good with 2 though, my OB knows I take 1-3/day when I get heartburn.

Answer

Yes
