4. PEPTACID®: THE SAFE CHOICE FOR EFFECTIVE
RELIEF OF SEVERE HEARTBURN DURING PREGNANCY
Heartburn and acid reflux increase the severity of
nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, and may lead
to more serious medical conditions
A systematic review of H2 Blockers studying the
safety of these agents during pregnancy revealed
that there is no increased risks for spontaneous
abortions or preterm delivery, concluding that H2
blockers can be used safely in pregnancy

5. PEPTACID®: THE SAFE CHOICE FOR EFFECTIVE
RELIEF OF SEVERE HEARTBURN DURING PREGNANCY
In pregnant women who are
suffering from heartburn and
have failed conservative
measures (avoiding heartburn
triggers, elevating head of the
bed, and taking antacids)…
It was found that twice – daily
dosing of ranitidine was
associated with a greater than
50% improvement in heartburn
compared with antacids alone
An evening – only dose of
ranitidine was clearly not
enough to relieve heartburn
adequately
