PEPCID® offers three main products that provide relief of occasional heartburn that you can take whenever you need. Original Strength PEPCID AC® and Maximum Strength PEPCID AC® contain an H2 blocker that begins to work in 15-30 minutes and helps control acid all day or all night.* PEPCID Complete® combines an H2 blocker with an antacid that starts neutralizing acid in your stomach in seconds, so it works even faster. Because the faster it starts relieving heartburn, the better.
PEPCID® IS THE ORIGINAL BRAND WITH THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT FAMOTIDINE WHICH IS A HISTAMINE-2 BLOCKER (H2 BLOCKER) THAT PROVIDES RELIEF FOR OCCASIONAL HEARTBURN.
*BASED ON 9-HOUR ACID CONTROL STUDIES DURING THE DAY AND 12-HOUR ACID CONTROL STUDIES DURING THE NIGHT. ACID CONTROL DOES NOT IMPLY SYMPTOM RELIEF.
WHAT IS FAMOTIDINE?
Famotidine is a histamine-2 blocker. It works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces by blocking the histamine receptors in your stomach responsible for triggering acid production.
