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.
If the defendant disagrees with your claim, and wants to contest the claim, the defendant must file an answer with the court clerk within 20 days after the defendant is served with process. When the court clerk receives the defendantâs answer, the court clerk will schedule your claim for a âcontested claimâ hearing. This hearing is when you and the defendant come to court to tell the judge about your case. Generally, the court clerk will schedule your hearing for a date within 30 days after the defendant files the answer. The court clerk will mail a notice of the hearing with the date and time to you and the defendant. The court clerk will include a copy of the defendantâs answer with your notice of hearing.
