Pepcid Complete for heartburn

[msanjelpie]

Anyone know the carb count on this Antacid chewable tablet?

Ingredients: Famotidine (10 mg) (acid reducer), Calcium Carbonate (800mg) (antacid), Magnesium Hydroxide (165mg) (antacid), Cellulose Acetate, Corn Starch, Dextrates, Flavors, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Hypromellose, Lactose, Magnesium Stearate, Pregelatinized Corn Starch, Red Iron Oxide, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sugar

There are some ingredients there that I'm not too thrilled with, although they are in small amounts, but it works so fast. I also like the fact that it has magnesium in it...

I've searched the internet high and low for info, but come up short...

THANKS!

Re: Pepcid Complete for heartburn

I had a few heartburn problems in induction, but they go away after two or three weeks.

In the meantime, I took 1/2 t. baking soda in a small glass of water when heartburn hit. It's very high in sodium, but has no illegal ingredients and it worked.

I'd avoid the commercial preparations if possible.

YMMV
