Works now. Works later.
Dual action PEPCID COMPLETE® starts to work on contact and controls acid all day or all night,* so you don’t have to choose between hurting now or hurting later.
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 may also take a while to work. With PEPCID COMPLETE®, you get both. Enjoy quick, long-lasting relief in one tablet.
