Pepcid AC Maximum Strength provides powerful and fast-acting relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. Each tablet contains 20 mg of famotidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. This helps to prevent and relieve the discomfort caused by excess stomach acid. This package contains 12 tablets (8 ct + 4 free), offering great value. Pepcid AC is a trusted brand recommended by doctors and pharmacists. Many customers appreciate its effectiveness and the fact that it can provide relief for up to 12 hours. It's a great option for those who experience heartburn after eating certain foods or at night. To use, simply take one tablet with a glass of water as needed, up to twice daily. Do not take more than two tablets in 24 hours. Pepcid AC is not culturally specific, but its ability to provide relief from heartburn makes it a welcome addition to any diet, allowing you to enjoy the diverse and flavorful cuisines of the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and Africa without discomfort. For example, enjoying a spicy jerk chicken from Jamaica or a flavorful curry from India can be more pleasurable knowing you have Pepcid AC on hand. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consult with your doctor if your heartburn persists or worsens.
