Anyone take Pepcid AC? Does it work?

[Deleted member 4644]

Any side effects? How long does one tablet last?

Anyone?

 

[QED]

I take Pepto-Bismol... it usually works pretty well for me...

If you have frequent heartburn, I suggest taking Prilosec once a day. Rather than reacting to heartburn, it's much nicer to just head it off at the pass.

BTW, Within a week of quitting smoking, I no longer got heartburn... at all... except on some extremely rare occasions.

It works really well, but takes a bit to start in. Sort of the opposite of calcium carbonate (tums, etc.) which dampen the fire but don't prevent it from starting back up a half hour later. If it's bad enough, use both.

yeah.. what CKent said^^

its a proton pump inhibitor as opposed to an antacid like tums

Pepcid AC interacts with more other drugs than Zantac does. Tagamet definitely interacts more. Zantac150 FTW.

Best medicine is to change your eating and drinking habits.

Lay off booze, spices and grease.

You'd have to kill me first.

May as well be asking him to lay off women.
