Seriousness

Myth:

Heartburn is a trivial complaint.

Truth:

Heartburn may be common, but it is not always a minor complaint. It can severely impact daily activities, relationships and quality of life in general. Zantac^® is used to both prevent and relieve the symptoms of occasional heartburn. If taken before a meal it can stop heartburn from occurring. And if heartburn is already present, Zantac^® can begin to provide relief in 30 to 60 minutes, as well as controlling acid production for up to 12 hours.

If your heartburn is persistent, talk to your doctor. It could be a symptom of a more serious condition. If left untreated this can lead to a wide range of problems, including ulcers of the esophagus, asthma and chronic cough.
