Generic Name: Pepcid for GERD (famotidine)
Pepcid for GERD Reviews
"I had been taking Ranitidine (300 mg twice a day), but after that was recalled, I tried Pepcid Complete. It seemed to work for a month or so, taking one in the morning and one in the evening. But then the acid reflux continued to be a problem, so I am here looking at other drug reviews. On the Pepcid website, it states: PEPCID® products are not indicated for the treatment of GERD. I am going to try my luck with Prilosec OTC, based on the reviews that I found on this site."
"I got so stressed with this Covid stuff and when very stressed I succumb to overeating, eating and spitting, it went on for a week and oh my gosh after a week the heartburn was crippling. One pepcid pill quieted things down. It been 1 hour and all is still in there thank goodness."
"Been on this medication 15 days; noticed after 7 days a drop in sexual performance; after 14 days a complete inability to get an erection."
"I took Pepcid and Pepcid AC for years, but like all gas pills, one pill could make my stools solid 'constipation,' like for a couple of days."
