Pepcid AC
A Favorite For Many
Many people who suffer from heartburn will reach for the Pepcid or Pepcid AC tablets. When it comes to this over the counter drug, it will relieve your pain from the heartburn. Its chemical name is Famotidine. When you use Pepcid AC, it is only for short term. Within a month or two you will find that an duodenal ulcer will be healed and a little bit long for a gastric ulcer that is not yet active to heal. It is also recommended for people with GERD. GERD is a condition that is very serious and that it is when the esophagus will become inflamed from acid reflux going into the esophagus.
Pepcid AC is a drug that is a Histamine block and is sold over the counter. It is used to relieve, but also, prevent future symptoms of heartburn and sour stomach.
You will not want to expect it to work immediately. You may have to take the medicine for a couple days, before you built up enough to take effect. You can also mix other antacids with Pepcid. When you take this medication, you need to drink it with a glass of water and an hour before you plan on eating something that could possibly cause heartburn.
