Qué es Pepcid AC® y cómo funciona

Pepcid AC® contains famotidine, an H2 receptor blocker. It lowers stomach acid by blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining. Less acid can mean fewer heartburn episodes and milder symptoms. Easy Swallow tablets are designed for quick, simple swallowing with water.

Pepcid AC Easy Swallow helps treat heartburn, sour stomach, and acid indigestion. It can also prevent heartburn triggered by certain foods and drinks when taken before a meal. Relief typically begins within an hour, and prevention works best when taken before trigger meals.

Para quién es Pepcid AC

This medicine is for adults and children 12 years and older who want relief or short-term prevention of heartburn. It helps occasional heartburn, including symptoms after spicy, fatty, or acidic foods and beverages.

Do not use if you have a known allergy to famotidine or to other H2 blockers. Speak with a clinician before use if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take other medicines. Avoid self-treatment and seek medical advice if you have alarm symptoms.

• Chest pain, shortness of breath, or pain spreading to arms or neck
• Frequent wheezing with heartburn
• Black stools or vomiting blood
• Pérdida de peso inexplicable
• Severe or persistent stomach pain
• Heartburn for more than 14 days despite treatment

Children under 12 should not use famotidine for heartburn unless directed by a clinician.

Posología y utilización

Follow the instructions on the product label or your clinician’s advice. Swallow tablets with water. Do not crush or chew.

Efectos secundarios y seguridad

Most people tolerate famotidine well. Common side effects are usually mild and temporary.

• Dolor de cabeza
• Mareos
• Estreñimiento o diarrea
• Náuseas
• Fatiga

Serious reactions are rare. Stop use and seek medical help at once if you get hives, swelling of the face or throat, trouble breathing, severe stomach pain, black stools, vomiting blood, or chest pain. People with kidney problems may need different dosing when using prescription famotidine; get clinician guidance before longer use.

Interacciones medicamentosas y precauciones

Famotidine reduces stomach acidity, which can change how some medicines are absorbed. Ask a clinician or pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you take.

• Drugs that need stomach acid for absorption, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, or atazanavir
• Other acid reducers; avoid using at the same time unless told to do so
• Drugs that irritate the stomach, such as some NSAIDs, may worsen heartburn

Limit triggers like large meals, late-night eating, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, peppermint, and acidic foods if these worsen symptoms. A clinician can help you decide whether an antacid, H2 blocker, or other therapy fits your symptoms and health history.

Qué esperar con el tiempo

Relief often starts within 15 to 60 minutes after a dose. Preventive dosing before a trigger meal can reduce or stop heartburn from starting. If you need daily heartburn medicine for many days in a row, limit a self-treatment course to 14 days unless a clinician directs otherwise. If heartburn occurs two or more days per week, consider a medical evaluation to review causes and options.

Comparar con alternativas

Several options help manage heartburn and related digestive symptoms. Antacids work quickly and neutralize stomach acid but wear off faster. H2 blockers like famotidine reduce acid production for longer relief. For some conditions, a clinician may recommend a different class or an add-on.

Consider these options available on our site:

• Famotidina tablets provide the same active ingredient as Pepcid AC Easy Swallow, with 10 mg and 20 mg strengths commonly used.
• Sucralfato forms a protective barrier on ulcerated or irritated tissue and is sometimes used for ulcer care as directed by a clinician.

A clinician may also discuss lifestyle changes, antacids, or other GI prescriptions depending on your diagnosis.
