Customer Reviews:
I have been taken Pepcid for dealing with gastro-esophageal reflux disease during several years. I have found that the most effective regimen of talking this drug is twice a day-in the morning and at night. It works great providing relief for the symptoms of the disease.

Pepcid is a very effective drug. The effect of the drug begins its action quickly-within approximately half an hour after the administration of the medication I begin to feel much better. Sometimes I experience side reactions such chest pain and tightness and dizziness. The thing is that I’ve just begun the treatment with this dug and hope these side reactions won’t bother me soon.

I’ve experiencing gastro-esophageal reflux disease for about several years already. I have tried a number of drugs, but it was found that in I experienced allergy from them. Finally I tried Pepcid and it is great for me – no side reaction and significant improvement of my condition are seen now.

I have been experiencing acid reflux for nearly a year. I’ve tried many drugs. Prilosec seems to work in a very effective manner but unfortunately I experienced a number of side reactions that brings me much discomfort. After the treatment for about several months I noticed breathing problems and heart palpitations. During the nights I woke up because of these reactions. When I stopped using the drug these reactions went away. Besides, this drug provoked dizziness and nervous state. I’m not sure that this drug was a right treatment for me.
