I have intense heartburn. I have taken Tums without success. I have Dexilant at home. Can I take it? If not, what should I do?

Yes, at 10 weeks of pregnancy, your symptoms may not necessarily be caused by your stomach but rather by the stretching of abdominal muscles due to the growth of your belly. Before taking any medication, it is recommended to stop using the current medication and consult a pharmacist to inquire about a more appropriate option for pregnant women, such as Zantac. If there is no improvement after taking it for 3 to 5 days, it is advisable to see a doctor.
