Effectiveness
How Pepcid Complete Affects PatientsGastric-peptic disease is caused by an imbalance of things that can protect your stomach, like mucus and bicarbonate, and things that can cause harm, like acid and the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. Antacids help to restore balance by reducing acid and pepsin activity and increasing bicarbonate and prostaglandin production. Calcium carbonate is a type of antacid that neutralizes 58 mEq of acid per 15 ml. When taken as a supplement, it increases the amount of calcium stored in the body.
How Pepcid Complete works in the bodyCalcium carbonate is a type of salt that helps neutralize stomach acid and block the effects of pepsin. It does this by raising the pH levels and preventing pepsin from working as it should. Calcium carbonate also helps protect cells by increasing bicarbonate and prostaglandins. When taken, it breaks down into calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water. Most of the calcium chloride then turns into insoluble calcium salts like calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate.

Pepcid Complete Reviews: What are patients saying about Pepcid Complete?
5Patient Review
1/25/2011 Protonic didn't work well for me, but my doctor recommended Pepcid Complete Dual Action and it was a total game changer. I haven't been able to find it at any pharmacies recently though. Do you have any information on this?
5Patient Review
11/28/2010 PC is great, but I can't find it anywhere anymore.
5Patient Review
12/3/2015 I've been taking this over-the-counter chewable medicine for at least 10 years. It is my "miracle drug". Two seconds after chewing it my heartburn goes away, and stays away for 12 hours.
5Patient Review
1/3/2011 I've always had great results with Pepsid Complete AC-0ral tablets for my indigestion, but I can't seem to find them anywhere these days. If anyone knows where I could get my hands on some, that would be greatly appreciated!
5Patient Review
10/17/2010 This is a great preventative measure for heartburn.
5Patient Review
10/6/2012 I have some reservations about this medication because it can be difficult to obtain, and last year it was pulled from store shelves without any explanation given to consumers. That said, it's the only thing that has been effective in eliminating my pain, so I continue to take it despite my concerns.
5Patient Review
2/22/2014 This treatment provided me with much needed relief.
5Patient Review
9/16/2013 This medication really helps to prevent colon pain from I.B.S. when taken before Excedrine for migraines.
5Patient Review
11/19/2011 I no longer have to suffer from heartburn at night. I can finally sleep peacefully.
5Patient Review
3/28/2009 Pepcid Complete has been a game changer for me. I was using Aciphex, but this medication works so much better and lasts all day long.
5Patient Review
12/29/2010 Pepcid is, by far, the best heartburn medication I've tried. It works quickly and lasts a long time. Plus, the pills taste great!
5Patient Review
1/18/2011 This medication does a great job at treating acid reflux. Please don't discontinue it!
4.7Patient Review
6/15/2013 I started taking Gabapentin for back pain, but soon developed debilitating headaches at night. After some research, I realized that the Pepcid I was also taking was likely exacerbating this problem. Sure enough, once I stopped taking Pepcid, my headaches went away.
4.3Patient Review
2/1/2010 I just tried this for the first time when I was feeling bloated and painful after eating. It worked very quickly to bring me relief. I'm quite pleased!
4Patient Review
11/8/2010 I've been using this ointment for a little while now and it seems to be helping my rash. I also had some swelling in my ankles, but that has since gone down. I stopped taking the Pepcid and will see if that was the cause of the problem.
3Patient Review
4/11/2011 This medication can cause your stool to appear dark in color. If this is a concern for you, please speak with your doctor.
2.3Patient Review
3/18/2020 I had no idea this medication would be loaded with aspartame, an artificial sweetener which causes me a range of negative physical responses like heartburn, headaches, dizziness, increased blood pressure, insomnia and anxiety.
2.3Patient Review
12/24/2013 My doctor recommended Pepcid Complete as a way to alleviate my acid reflux faster than the other medication he prescribed. Unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible chest pains due to esophageal spasm and this did nothing to help. In fact, over the course of 10 hours, I took 3 tablets with no relief whatsoever.
2.3Patient Review
5/19/2022 I didn't find this medication effective at treating heartburn.
Patient Q&A Section about pepcid complete
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What is so special about Pepcid Complete?
"There are two types of PEPCID AC, original and maximum strength, which both contain an H2 blocker that begins to work within 15-30 minutes. PEPCID Complete combines an H2 blocker with an antacid that starts neutralizing acid in your stomach almost immediately."
Answered by AI
Is it OK to take Pepcid Complete everyday?
"To avoid heartburn, take a tablet 15-60 minutes before eating or drinking anything that gives you heartburn. Do not take more than 2 tablets in 24 hours unless your doctor tells you to. Do not take this medicine for more than 14 days in a row without talking to your doctor."
Answered by AI
What are side effects of taking Pepcid Complete?
"You may experience diarrhea, headache, constipation, or stomach cramps. If you experience any of these effects for an extended period of time, or if they worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Your doctor has determined that the benefits of this medication outweigh the risks of side effects."
Answered by AI
What is the difference between PEPCID and Pepcid Complete?
"PEPCID is a medication that reduces stomach acid. Original Strength and Maximum Strength PEPCID AC start working in 15-30 minutes, and help control stomach acid all day or all night. Dual Action PEPCID COMPLETE combines an H2 blocker with an antacid, so it starts neutralizing acid in seconds, but has the long-lasting relief of an H2 blocker."
