Answer 3

I haven't heard of QuickEaz... I can tell you, however, that most over the counter antacids (such as Tums and Mylanta) work by neutralizing the acid in the stomach. For this reason, they work VERY quickly... unfortunately, the stomach reacts by producing still MORE acid so the effect typically wears off within the hour. Thus, these medicines are effective for immediate relief of symptoms that aren't anticipated to last more than an hour.

Pepcid and Zantac can be purchased in low doses over the counter. These medicines work by suppressing the stomach's production of acid. They take about 45 minutes to take effect but their effect lasts for 12 hours or so.

Seems like the Pepcid and Zantac are the medicines that have the effect that you're looking for. Try the over the counter versions - if they're not effective, see the doctor to consider a prescription strength version of the same.
