Brief Answer:
Rantac can be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I understand your query and concern.

Yes, certainly hiatal hernia(sliding variety particularly) is known to cause frequent distressing symptoms of acid reflux causing heartburn.

Yes, of course Rantac 150 can be prescribed on empty stomach for 3 weeks under your doctor's prescription.

But the definitive management of this hiatal hernia is surgery called Nissen's fundoplication.

You need to consult a surgical gastroenterologist for the above procedure.

Post your further queries, if any
