Indications
Pepcid Complete is a gastrointestinal medication used to treat heartburn caused by indigestion and excess stomach acid.
Famotidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that helps decrease your body’s production of stomach acid through its inhibitory actions. Pepcid Complete uses this in combination with calcium and magnesium, two minerals that help further neutralize stomach acid to control gastric conditions related to hypersecretion.
This heartburn medication is generally well-tolerated and is effective at decreasing and controlling your stomach acid levels. Pepcid Complete offers relief from heartburn associated with excess stomach acid more effectively than other histamine inhibitors. Famotidine has also shown a low rate of incidence of adverse effects.

FAQ
What is Pepcid Complete?
Pepcid Complete is a stomach acid reducer that combines long-lasting effects of famotidine with calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide which offer quicker antacid effects. While the famotidine inhibits receptors in your gastrointestinal tract to decrease your body’s production of gastric acid, the calcium and magnesium neutralize the current acid to provide more immediate heartburn relief.
What is the difference between Pepcid and proton pump inhibitors?
Both forms of drugs reduce your body’s stomach acid levels, but they do so in different ways. Pepcid Complete uses famotidine, a histamine-2 antagonist which blocks receptors that trigger acid production. The drug also includes antacids which help it relieve heartburn in 15 to 30 minutes. Proton pump inhibitors block pumps in your gastrointestinal system that release acid and can take a few days to improve symptoms.
