New Pepcid Duo Tablets
If you have been suffering from heartburn or acid indigestion, new Pepcid Duo chewable tablets may help. They get to work really fast, starting to have an effect two minutes after you take the tablet.
Pepcid Duo is a new improved version of Pepcid AC, which has been unavailable in the Irish market for a few months. It combines the benefits of Famotidine (a H2 receptor blocker) and antacids in one chewable tablet to treat the short term symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion (dyspepsia) and excess acid.
Long Lasting Relief From Heartburn and Indigestion
Pepcid Duo starts to work fast and keeps working for up to 12 hours. The tablets are chewable, meaning they get to work a bit faster than a full tablet that you would swallow whole. Effects lasting up to 12 hours mean you can have control of your heartburn or indigestion symptoms all day or all night, after taking just one Pepcid Duo tablet.
Pepcid Duo Works In Two Ways
Pepcid traditionally contains Famotidine, which is a H2 receptor blocker and effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. In Pepcid Duo, Famotidine has been combined with two antacids, Magnesium Hydroxide and Calcium Carbonate. The antacids neutralise excess acid already in your stomach.
The result is fast acting, long lasting relief form heartburn and indigestion.
- Antacids - Calcium Carbonate and magnesium hydroxide neutralise the exisiting acid in the stomach.
- H2 Blocker - Famotidine is effective at reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces
