HOW ZEGERID OTC WORKS FOR YOUR FREQUENT HEARTBURN

Zegerid OTC works differently from other OTC heartburn products, such as antacids and other
acid reducers. Zegerid OTC stops acid production at the source - the acid pump that produces
stomach acid. Zegerid OTC is to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days.
