HOW ZEGERID OTC WORKS FOR YOUR FREQUENT HEARTBURN

Zegerid OTC works differently from other OTC heartburn products, such as antacids and other 
acid reducers. Zegerid OTC stops acid production at the source - the acid pump that produces 
stomach acid. Zegerid OTC is to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days.

Do not lie flat or bend over after eating Do not eat late at night or just before bedtime Certain foods or drinks are more likely to cause heartburn, such as rich, spicy, fatty and fried foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol and even some fruits and vegetables

Eat slowly and do not eat big meals If you are overweight, lose weight If you smoke, quit smoking Raise the head of your bed Wear loose-fitting clothing around your stomach
