Pepcid, also known by its generic name famotidine, is indicated for the following conditions:
  1. Treatment and Prevention of Ulcers: Pepcid is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It is also indicated for the short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer and the short-term treatment of active benign gastric ulcer. Additionally, it is used for maintenance therapy for duodenal ulcer patients at reduced dosage after healing of an active ulcer.
  2. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Pepcid is indicated for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It provides relief for patients with symptoms of GERD.
  3. Conditions with Excessive Stomach Acid Production: Pepcid is used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Pepcid is a histamine-2 blocker that works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces.
