Zantac is an H2 blocker. Blocks secretion of acid. Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor. It stops the production. If you have occasional gastric burn zantac is recommended but if you have Gerd Prilosec is recommended. I would say ask your doctor about it. Zantac gives relief faster than Prilosec because of how they work. However Prilosec stays in your system longer.

Are those of you who feel hungry taking anti acid medications such as Prilosec or Nexium? Acid in our sleeved stomachs mimics hunger. I am 18 mos out and still take Prilosec everyday. If I don't, I feel constant "hunger." I take zantac for the same reason. I seem to have lots of burning or aching like hunger but it's reflux. Pril9sec doesn't work for me like the zantac.
