YMMV, but 20mg famotidine tablets work well for me since Zantac is gone.

Nexium, or esomeprazole, works well, or better than Zantac, and can be purchased OTC (at least here in the UK). It’s pricey but usually lasts a couple of days or more so it stretches further.

It's still manufactured overseas. There are shady-but-legit websites that sell it.

Nothing else on the market compares.

I store all medicines (prescription and some OTC) in the fridge. So it’s the first place I look. They ARE perishable.

Any of those marketplaces you'd recommend?

Not particularly.

The few batches we've bought have been legit (Ranimax 150, product of India), but QA with these sorts of vendors isn't exactly guaranteed (for all I know, your first purchase would be reconstituted sawdust and rat droppings). I'm not comfortable giving standing referrals to any fly-by-night operation.

I just mentioned it as a possibility because for those with bad-enough GERD, there are no retail options, and the assumption is that the product has been recalled worldwide. Not so!
