Pepcid

Pepcid, which contains the active ingredient famotidine, is a medication used to reduce stomach acid production. It helps treat conditions like heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach ulcers. By blocking specific signals in the stomach that produce acid, Pepcid alleviates symptoms and promotes healing of irritation or damage. It is usually taken orally and can provide relief within a short period. Pepcid is generally well-tolerated but should be used as directed, especially for those with kidney issues or on other medications.
