Heartburn: what local remedies or what to buy in the farmacia?
Are you in The DR Caribmike? If so buy the Famotidina down there. Much cheaper and no need for a prescription. Personally I would give the vinegar a try as I wouldn't want to be on a pill for the rest of my life, which is the way Omeprazole works. I only use the Famotidina on an exception basis.
The famous Dr Bob 'prescribed' my vinegar as an 'anti-parasite' measure.... most bugs hate the acidity.
H Pylori is an exception.

Not sure, I am having a slight heartburn since a couple days but no acid regurgitation. I think (hope) it is temporary. Need some activity and would prefer to try something what I do not have to use permanently so I think I will try first the vinegar. If that doesn't help I'll need to try one of the mentioned medications.
Famotidina is Pepcid. Works for an occasional incident, but NOT for a chronic condition.

The active ingredient in the two are the same.
Prilosec-the generic is omaprazole-has identical ingredients as Nexium, one active, one innert. Nexium just has the active ingredient. That is the only difference.
It's all about the marketing.
You better do something ...FAST.... Mike...... or you'll be in hospital before you order the cure.

Nexium is just a very expensive brand name for esomeprazol. I buy generics and save up to 70% off drug prices. I was prescribed nexium 3 years back, and went with Omeprazol, made by the Colombian laboratory. it was btter for me than Omeprazole made by Ethical (one of the reliable generic drugs labs)
The ones I brought back from The DR are 40mg which I don't think you can get without a prescription in The US. Of course you could always take two 20mg if one doesn't do the trick. Always consult your doctor though...
Famotidine is just low-tech Pepcid. NOT by prescription anywhere as far as I know.
forget the nexium, this is just simple esomeprazole (improved omeprazole, basically) at insane price. omeprazole is most effective as the protection of the stomach while on the therapy with strong antibiotics.
if i was pressed for choice i would go for lansoprazol, more expensive than omeprazole but much better. try brand name pepticus (about 15 pesos per pill).
apple cider vinegar comes in pills too, maybe 3 pesos per one? GNC shops should have it too (sold by bottle thou).

I have heartburn problems all the time, after seeing a neuro, ent, gastro and a dentist and lots of tests it turned out to be irritation of the vagus nerve due to TMJ sydrome.
INTERESTING. I do the TMJ thing when I'm under work related stress. Also occasionally get some annoying heartburn. I'm going to keep track of this to see if they're related in my case.
