Pepcid AC Maximum Strength Tablets are sourced directly from authorized US retailers, factory-sealed, and imported per-order. This ensures you receive the exact same SKU and formulation that US buyers get. All customs duties and GST are included in the displayed price, and orders arrive within 20-23 days via ExpressBox tracked shipping. ### What is the difference between Pepcid AC and local Indian antacids? Pepcid AC Maximum Strength uses 20mg of famotidine, a specific acid reducer that works by decreasing stomach acid production. Many local antacids primarily neutralize existing acid. This formulation offers sustained acid control for up to 9-12 hours, ideal for preventing heartburn before meals or providing all-day/all-night relief. ### How long does one tablet of Pepcid AC last? Just one tablet of Pepcid AC Maximum Strength can control acid all day or all night, based on 9-hour (day) and 12-hour (night) acid control studies. This provides extended relief from heartburn and acid indigestion, allowing you to eat and drink with more confidence. ### Can I take Pepcid AC for daily heartburn relief? This product is intended for occasional heartburn relief and prevention. Do not take more than 2 tablets in 24 hours. If you experience heartburn more than 3 months a year, or have frequent heartburn, it may be a sign of a more serious condition, and you should consult a doctor. ### What are the side effects of Pepcid AC? While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects can include headache, dizziness, or constipation. Serious side effects like trouble swallowing, vomiting with blood, or black stools require immediate medical attention. Always consult the product's safety warnings and a healthcare professional if you have concerns or pre-existing conditions. ### Is Pepcid AC safe for vegetarians? The active ingredient, famotidine, is not derived from animal sources. However, the inactive ingredients include carnauba wax, which is plant-derived, and others like microcrystalline cellulose and talc. While generally considered suitable for vegetarians, always review the full ingredient list if you have strict dietary requirements. ### How should I store Pepcid AC tablets? Store Pepcid AC Maximum Strength Tablets at room temperature between 20°-25°C (68°-77°F) and protect them from moisture. Keep the carton as it contains important information. Ensure they are kept out of reach of children. ## Compliance No product-specific compliance warnings identified.
