Pepcid contains famotidine, an H2 blocker supplied as film-coated tablets in 20 mg and 40 mg strengths. It is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, where the stomach produces excessive acid. The ingredient is also described on the famotidine page.
Famotidine blocks histamine H2 receptors on the stomach lining, which reduces how much acid the stomach makes. Avoid it if you have previously reacted to famotidine or another H2 blocker. Kidney disease may call for a lower dose, so tell your doctor. Headache and dizziness are common, and constipation or diarrhoea can occur. Hives, facial or throat swelling, or breathing difficulty need immediate medical attention (MedlinePlus).
