I had a lot of stomach pain and heartburn. My stomach hurt most of the time. Started taking famotidine as proscribed by my doctor. Also had IBS symptoms. This medicine has done wonders for my stomach and IBS. Very pleased with the results.

Before using this drug I was dizzy a lot, lots of headaches and more importantly, severe pain all over my stomach. And while the pain isn't as harsh when it comes, it still comes, like clockwork. The headaches have ceased and Im not dizzy on a daily basis. But I dont feel like this pill has done anything monumental for me.

I had been having heart pain, neck and Jaw Pain, sweating, dizzyness. My heart was tested intensively and found not to have anything wrong and the pain kept on coming. My Doctor told me to try Pepcid AC as it might help. Wonder of Wonders it worked like a charm!!! That you for putting this on the market.
