Mom is a diabetic, can take heartburn/indigestion?
Hello, my mom is in her 50’s and takes needles for diabetes. Last night she ate a deli turkey sandwich, cheese, and bread. Today she said it feels like it is stuck in her chest area and is causing pain. Does this sound like indigestion/heartburn? What OTC products can she take safely with her diabetes? (Please suggest something, product or home remedy – don’t say go to the doc they are closed today for the holiday). Thank you. A: There are many choices for the common cold, indigestion, constipation, and other conditions remedied by OTCs. Your Rite Aid Pharmacist can give you good advice on choosing the one that will be safe and work best for you. Here are some tips: * Read the label and package insert carefully. * Choose products that contain very little sugar. * Choose products that contain little or no alcohol. * Use the same pharmacy and make sure all of your health care providers know what prescription drugs and OTC products you are currently taking. * Check your blood glucose more
