This is a first for me. But I came across a couple of sites suggesting that zantac may cause a possible side effect in eczema.

As far as I know, Zantac is a popular OTC medication for heartburn. It is well liked because it can provide instant relief. [tag-ice]Eczema[/tag-ice] is cited as one of the few side effects that have reportedly arisen with the consumption of Zantac.

Myth or fact? I am not in a position to establish if it is really true about Zantac and [tag-tec]eczema[/tag-tec] because I do not suffer from heartburn. However, one thing is certain is that if you do already have sensitive skin and intend to take Zantac, please be aware about the possible complication. Also, best to stop taking Zantac immediately if you notice [tag-dtec]eczema[/tag-dtec] skin symptoms. Then, consult your doctor for suitable alternatives for your heartburn.

Also, if you do suffer from heartburn, you should also look into natural ways of prevention and treatment so that you can reduce your reliance on taking Zantac. For heartburn, changing your diet from an acidic to a more alkaline one helps. Additionally, sleeping postures that prevent your stomach acid from backing up your oseophagus should be considered.

All in all, it is in your best interest to exercise caution and to take less drugs. Drugs are chemical substances that can produce side effects and are harmful for your body. You may just be exchanging one health problem with another. Seek proper advice from your health care provider.
