No, takes a while. I started noticing some improvements in a couple of days, but it didn't really kick in for a week. Also, as the baby gets bigger, you need to get in touch with the doctor to adjust the dose. I weight my baby weekly at the Breastfeeding Center and then email my doctor to get the new dosage amount. If Zantac alone doesn't work, I've heard they can also add Prilosec as it works in a different way. We haven't done that yet -- just on Zantac. Good luck -- I hope your baby feels better.

It worked very well for my DS. Some relief in 24 hours, total relief in a few days. Not everyone is so lucky. If it works for you, it is wonderful.

I had improvement within 24 hours, maybe even within 12, but I hear I was lucky.
