I had Dh pick me up some Zantac from the warehouse store because it's so much cheaper there. But instead of the Zantac 75, he brought home Zantac 150.
Are these pretty much the same? I didn't even know there was a 150. Should I return them? Cut them? Or they are fine to take as is and may even help more? Am I just a big ol' paranoia?

Brandi-
The 150 is twice the amount of zantac as the 75. Its what used to be a presciption dose, before they made it over the counter available.
Can you tell if the pills can be split? Only split pills that have a little indented line on them (otherwise you may not be getting the same 'amount' of medication each dose).
I wouldnt bump up to the 150 if the 75 is working fine for you.
I hope that helps.

Thank you Robin, that does help. The 75 were not working for me, so I have started taking 1 150 at night before bed and that helps a huge amount.
The don't have the line, but I have a pill slicer that is great at measuring.
