Pepcid is a brand name for the drug famotidine, which is an H2 antagonist used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Pepcid is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms and works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, promoting healing and alleviating symptoms related to excess stomach acid.
There was a recall for pepcid complete
Pepcid complete contain magnesium hydroxide.
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.
I did not say pepcid would stop cancer symptoms unless the symptoms are caused by reflux, please see my last reply
No. Pepcid is an H2 antagonist, and possesses no abuse potential whatsoever. It does not show up on any drug screen.

The three other H2 receptor blockers, famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcid AC), nizatidine (Axid), and ranitidine (Zantac), are similar in their uses.
