5.0 out of 5 stars Good for acid reflux, and also for insect stings, August 17, 2011

This review is from: Pepcid AC Acid Reducer (10 mg), Original Strength, 90-Count Tablets (Health and Beauty)

A ER nurse told me that when someone comes in with bee stings and a reaction, they give Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25 - 50 mg and Pepcid AC (famotidine) 10 mg. to counteract the venom. Evidently Pepcid AC is an H2 blocker (anti-histamine) that works with Benadryl (an H1 blocker) to keep the swelling and inflammation to a minimum, reducing allergic reactions.

Here in North Carolina, we have lots of hornets and wasps, and also the dreaded fire ant. I keep a bottle of Benadryl tablets and now a bottle of Pepcid AC tablets in a kitchen drawer for easy access when someone comes in with multiple bites or stings. Anyone who has stepped in a fire ant nest will know how fast the victim swells up, and how dangerous multiple stings can be. Of course anyone who is allergic to bee stings, or who reacts badly to insect bites should seek medical help and NOT rely on home treatment of any kind. But for mild reactions and general discomfort, a dose of both Pepcid AC and Benadryl will help reduce the swelling.

Pepcid AC also works really well as an antacid, without requiring days of treatment the way Nexium or Prevacid do. For occasional heartburn or acid reflux, Pepcid AC is an effective, fast acting product. Our home medicine chest won't be without it!

This review is from: Pepcid AC Acid Reducer (10 mg), Original Strength, 90-Count Tablets (Health and Beauty)

Pepcid AC works great if you know what foods cause heartburn, anticipate heartburn, and know enough to take the pill before you ingest the evil, say, ice cream with potato chips and pickles. But I'm the kind of person who walks out of the house with my shoes untied. So because of the wait time between when you take the product and when it kicks in, I'd give it only 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I gave this product to my mother, who ..., September 3, 2000

This review is from: Pepcid AC Acid Reducer (10 mg), Original Strength, 90-Count Tablets (Health and Beauty)

I gave this product to my mother, who suffers from heartburn almost daily. She says that Pepcid AC is her favorite product on the market. It gives her quick relief and she can take it anytime, before her heartburn sets in or after it's already started. Knowing that it's helped her, I'd definitely recommend it.
