Miracle pill
I can’t live without these. Because I am on medication, I get bad heartburn so I take one every night. I have tried many cheaper brands and they don’t work as well as these! They are on the pricier side but work immediately.. the price is definitely worth it.

A Blessing
I suffer from acid reflux(heartburns) and it can make it difficult to enjoy certain foods/drinks... Now I take one pill before I eat something I know will give me a hard time. I haven't had any issues- I wish I knew about these way before!

Disappointed with DYE!
Although Pepcid AC works, I am totally disappointed that they put in 2 red dyes And blue aluminum lake, dye, as these ingredients are known to be G.I. irritants and possibly cause other related correlations. Why does a stomach Product have to include artificial coloring? Because of this, I have to hunt for one that is more organic. I wish they made it without the dye. What’s wrong with these companies that feel like they have to put excessive food coloring and everything we eat and poison our bodies?

Works well
Very effective. Ive had heartburn my whole life and have tried everything. This seems to work best, in pill form. No taste, no scent. Overall worth the money.

Works Good, But Can Cause Hair Loss.
I have used this product off an on for the last couple years. It works fairly well for nighttime heartburn. The one complaint I have is it causes hair loss. When I start using it I notice more hair loss after about 6 weeks. If I stop using it I notice less hair loss after about 6 weeks. If you look online for Pepcid drug side effects it will list Hair loss as a side effect.

Doesnt do a thing! Total waste!
Doesn’t do a thing! What a waste of money and such a disappointment. I’m in my third trimester of pregnancy and have been experiencing heartburn since the second trimester. Pepcid hasn’t helped one bit! Doesn’t do a thing to relieve symptoms, and in fact, almost seems to make it worse sometimes. Total waste of money!

Pepcid
Pepcid is a life saver for heartburn. It’s always in my luggage during our travel to prevent any acid indigestion and/or heartburn. This also helps with my stomach after eating spicy foods.

Does not work!
I decided to try this brand to help relieve my heartburn and it still hasn't helped. I am now experiencing nausea and an upset stomach due to the acid.
