not as far as i'm aware. i was told not to take quick eze and only gaviscon was safe in pregnancy. if in doubt maybe either ring healthline (0800 611 116) or ask a pharmacist? Or call your midwife....
Sorry chicky, just what i got told last preggy

I had bad heartburn with both my girls but only had to take gaviscon a couple of times, my mw suggested 1st to try a small drink of cold milk- just drink it slow & next step was a small amount of ice cream - she said just about a teaspoon & just let it melt down your throat & most times it worked a treat. Good luck tho

Yikes....I scoffed down quick eze like they were going out of fashion. My LMC had no issues with them and I'm pretty sure she knew I was taking them.

I took Quick-Eze towards the end of my pregnancy cos I was spending a fortune on Gaviscon  My mw said they were fine. I was a bit worried so did all this internet searching and found out the ingredient that preggie ladies can't have that's sometimes in those type of things, but i looked on the ingredients and it wasn't in quick-eze.

I would try the gaviscon liquid if I was you, my midwife said to stay away from the tablets as they contain aluminium.
Other than that there is ice cream and also eating almonds is suppose to help.

I also ate them like lollies during pregnancy. And mylanta too. I am sure I have seen it written somewhere that they are ok to take to relieve heartburn and I know that my specialist knew and he never said anything adverse.

Ive been recommended either mylanta or gaviscon by mw and doctor, oh, and obstetrician as well.
I cant stomach gaviscon - end up puking or washing it down with water etc. But chew mylanta tabs like they are going out of fashion. I found that a glass of milk just before bed helps - and icecream during the day. Sometimes, there is nothing that seems to work and its even woken me in the middle of the night when its at its worst.

Do the Mylanta chewables taste similar to the Quick eze chewables.

Mylanta taste better than quickeze i reckon.
They have a nicer texture.
I have been having about 3 quickeze a day so I hope they are ok. I like the chewy ones. They taste so much better.
oh the joys of heartburn.

I have had terrible heartburn, at its worst when I go to bed, even if I haven't eaten for 2 or 3 hours. I went to the pharmacy and got some tablets called Titralac, they seem to do the trick. Pharmacist saisd they were fine during pregnancy. They cost me $13 for 100 tablets. Might see if my midwife can prescribe them cos I am going thru them like they are going out of fashion!!

I txt my MW to see what she had to say.. She said that your not meant to take quick eze during pregnancy and told me to try mylanta or titrlac and if they dont work she can prescribe something for me. I'm going to try milk tonight (well I hope flavoured milk will work cause I dont like plain milk) hopefull it works
