Pepcid
Heartburn relief medication
Pepcid is a brand name for famotidine, a medication that reduces stomach acid production.
It treats heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining.
Available over the counter and by prescription: I took a Pepcid before eating spicy food.
