"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's been 1 hour, and all is still in there, thank goodness."

"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."

"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."
