Hello,
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Pantoprazole(standard dose 40 mg orally before food), also a category B drug in pregnancy as Rantac (ranitidine) potently inhibits all phases of gastric acid secretion & would be a better choice but for a short term use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
