Pepcid AC Maximum Strength Tablets

Description

Pepcid AC Maximum Strength Tablets contain famotidine 20 mg, an H2 blocker that helps reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It provides fast relief from heartburn caused by acid indigestion and helps prevent heartburn when taken before meals. Unlike antacids that neutralize existing acid, Pepcid AC works by decreasing acid production, offering longer-lasting protection against symptoms. It is suitable for both immediate relief and preventive use, making it a reliable option for managing occasional heartburn.
