I have severe dry eyes, my nose, mouth and skin are also dry. I have been taking pepcid for a long time. I don't remember when i started taking it. I have had blood tests for autoimmune disorders and they were all negative. This is the only acid reducing medicine i can take because im allergic to all others. Can the pepcid be causing all this dryness?
