Pepcid Complete (Famotidine/Calcium Carbonate/Magnesium Hydroxide)
Pepcid Complete (famotidine) is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine used for fast and effective heartburn relief. It is designed to help people who experience acid indigestion, sour stomach, or discomfort caused by excess stomach acid. Pepcid Complete offers dual action relief by both neutralizing acid already in the stomach and reducing future acid production.
Pepcid Complete is commonly chosen for symptom relief when heartburn occurs after meals or at night. It is available without a prescription and comes in chewable tablets with assorted fruit, cool mint, tropical fruit, or berry flavor options. Because chest pain and stomach pain can sometimes be signs of a serious condition, anyone with ongoing or severe symptoms should speak to a health care professional.
