If heartburn occurs during a working lunch with colleagues or on a late night with friends, Zantac can help keep your symptoms under control so you can continue to enjoy uninterrupted.
Heartburn happens when acid from the stomach rises into the oesophagus (the tube that connects your throat and your stomach). A burning, uncomfortable feeling usually starts around the chest and can quickly move up into the neck and throat. Not only is it painful but it can affect the way you live your life.
Zantac works by targeting the acid at its source. It blocks the H2 receptors in the gastric parietal cells, which are the cells in your stomach that make acid. Blocking these receptors reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, so less can acid rise up to burn.
Zantac provides long-lasting heartburn relief that starts to work in as little as 30 minutes1-3.
One easy to swallow Zantac tablet starts to work in a little as 30 minutes1-3. It provides long lasting relief from heartburn and acid indigestion, so you can live the life you want without compromise.
Starts to work in as little as 30 minutes1-3
With one easy-to-swallow tablet,
Zantac provides up to 12 hours of relief
Zantac Double Strength provides up to 24 hours of relief
Can be taken with or without food
Antacids neutralise existing stomach acid and can work quickly however only provide a few hours of relief. Zantac offers two products which provide either 12-hour relief or 24-hour relief from heartburn with one easy-to-swallow tablet.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) that are available without a prescription for heartburn relief reduce production of stomach acid in a different way than Zantac. PPIs can provide symptom relief for up to 24 hours but may take hours or even days to take effect. Zantac starts to work in as little as 30 minutes1-3, which may give you faster relief from heartburn symptoms compared to PPIs.
If you are unsure which is the right treatment for you, please speak to a healthcare professional.
