Pepcid (famotidine) and pantoprazole are both medications used to reduce stomach acid, but they belong to different classes. Pepcid is an H2 receptor antagonist, while pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). They are not directly interchangeable, as they work in different ways and may be prescribed for different conditions. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on medication use and replacement.
No, pure pantoprazole contains only pantoprazole.
I believe it maybe zantac or prilosec over the counter. To be sure, double check with your pharmacist and ask, "what generic equlvenlent over the counter medicine can be used in place of pantoprazole?'
There was a recall for pepcid complete
Pepcid complete contain magnesium hydroxide.
is pantoprazole by wyeth gluten free
No, Pepcid (famotidine) does not contain magnesium trisilicate. Pepcid is a medication used to reduce stomach acid production, while magnesium trisilicate is an antacid used to neutralize stomach acid.
yes it is
Yes, you can. I got a list from my OB and for heartburn/indigestion you can take pepcid, tums, zantac, mylanta, or tagamet.
Rabeprazole is the only ppi which doesn't require cyp2c19 to metabolize in the body.so no drug interaction with other drugs which are taken with rabeprazole.but pantoprazole required same that why rabeprazole is superior compare to pantoprazole
I did not say pepcid would stop cancer symptoms unless the symptoms are caused by reflux, please see my last reply
According to many sites, pantoprazole doesn't have any gluten in it.
No. Pepcid is an H2 antagonist, and possesses no abuse potential whatsoever. It does not show up on any drug screen.
