Antacids do not work the same for everyone. For people who have occasional, mild to moderate heartburn, antacids may work very well. For people who have severe GERD, antacids alone are unlikely to help. If you want to take medicine only when your symptoms bother you, antacids are a good choice. They relieve symptoms quickly. A single dose of antacid often relieves heartburn for about an hour.
Different jurisdictions have different rules, but in most instances the amendment will extend the amount of time the defendant has to respond. He or she usually starts with 21 days from the date of the original complaint, or 10 days from the date of service of the amended complaint, whichever time period is longer.
