I'm dealing with a pretty bad case of heartburn, and I'm considering taking Cyra tablets. I'm just a bit unsure about how to properly use them. Should I be taking them before I eat, or is it better after a meal? Also, how often should I be using them each day? I really want to make sure I get this right for the best relief. What do you recommend?

What might be causing all this, and is there something specific I should be doing to feel better?
