Pepcid Complete Dual Action Acid Reducer & Antacid Chewable Tablet, Cool Mint FAQs
How should I take Pepcid?
Always follow the directions on the product label or your doctor's instructions. Typically, for heartburn relief, OTC Pepcid is taken as needed. For prescription Pepcid, the dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated.
When should I take Pepcid?
For heartburn relief, it's often taken shortly before eating foods or engaging in activities that are likely to cause heartburn. For other conditions, your doctor will specify the best time to take it.
What if I miss a dose of Pepcid?
If you take Pepcid regularly and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Can I crush or chew Pepcid tablets?
It's generally recommended to swallow Pepcid tablets whole with a full glass of water. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, discuss alternative forms (like the oral suspension) with your doctor or pharmacist.
