Tagamet - Non Prescription Heartburn Relief

Tagamet is a drug that moved from Rx to non-Rx status some time ago. Tagamet is taken to prevent heartburn and treat current symptoms using "H2 blocking".

The following WebMD link has a neat test for Heartburn:

I'm going to write more than the usual about heartburn meds because I'm experiencing a bad bout of what I think is heartburn for the first time and have been researching options. Common over the counter meds include Pepto Bismol, Maalox, Tagamet, and Prilosec. The latter two were prescription drugs until recently.
