Pepcid Complete Overview

Updated: 

Pepcid Complete is an over the counter medication used to relieve heartburn associated with acid indigestion in adults and children over 12 years of age.

Pepcid Complete contains 3 ingredients: famotidine, calcium carbonate, and magnesium hydroxide. Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide belong to a group of drugs called antacids. These work by neutralizing the acid in your stomach. Famotidine belongs to a group of drugs called H2 blocker. These work by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. 

This medication comes in a chewable tablet form and is taken daily and should not take more than 2 in 24 hours.

Common side effects of Pepcid Complete include headache, dizziness and constipation.
