PEPCID COMPLETE Antacid & Acid Reducer is the first and only non-prescription heartburn reliever to combine speed and duration in a single chewable tablet.
It works quickly and delivers long-lasting relief from daytime and nighttime heartburn, acid indigestion and upset or sour stomach due to acid indigestion in just one dose.
The unique 2-in-1 formula attacks your heartburn with 2 different medicines:
- The fast-acting antacid begins to neutralize acid on contact.
- The long-lasting acid reducer controls acid production for up to 12 hours.
Antacids can work quickly, but may not last so your heartburn could return. Acid reducers can last, but also take a while to work. With PEPCID COMPLETE, you get both.
