Pepcid AC Chewable Tablets (famotidine) for GERD: After using Protonix for years I am finding that one chewable Pepcid in the morning and another at night is working great!

famotidine for GERD: I was a huge Tums eater with little success. At night while lying down I'd have the acid come up all the way to my nose - quite a burning, nasty sensation. It would appear that this little 20 mg pill makes ALL the difference. I take it about an hour before my evening meal. So far it has performed incredibly well - I've not had any GERD (acid reflux) even after a 4 taco with heavy onion and salsa dinner plus 3 beers.

Pepcid (famotidine): Don't take too much and don't smoke cigarettes while using, both will make you sick.

Pepcid (famotidine) for Duodenal Ulcer: In my particular case, famotidine does not seem to relieve my symptoms on a consistent basis.

famotidine for GERD: I used to take famotidine 20mg 2 x daily and it did the job. Now I need it every 5 to 6 hrs for relief. So I decided to use Pepto-bismal yesterday morning at 8 and it worked very well and lasted until about 9pm. Then I took a Pepcid that night, but it doesn't work for me like it use to.

Pepcid AC Chewable Tablets (famotidine): It worked rather quickly for me. Within a 1/2 hour I was feeling significantly better. I did however experience brief chest pain and tightness and a bit dizzy about 20 minutes after taking it. I've only taken one dose so far and hope that I'll be able to continue taking this as treatment for abdominal pain suspect of a peptic ulcer.

famotidine for Allergic Urticaria: I just started taking it but I'm already seeing results. When I read that a lesser side effect was muscle cramps it bothered me a little. But, otherwise I'm seeing almost instant results.

famotidine for GERD: Works better than others for me. Also, no interaction with Tylenol.
