PEPCID is a brand of over-the-counter and prescription gastrointestinal medications whose active ingredient is famotidine, a histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist used to treat and prevent heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcer disease. PEPCID works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the production of stomach acid and providing relief from symptoms associated with excess acid. PEPCID is used to relieve and prevent heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach, and is also prescribed for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It became a well-known alternative to older H2 blockers like cimetidine and ranitidine due to its fewer drug interactions and stronger potency. 

Famotidine, the key component of PEPCID, was developed by the Japanese pharmaceutical company Yamanouchi (now part of Astellas Pharma) and was first marketed in Japan in 1981. It was introduced to the United States market in 1986 through a collaboration between Merck & Co. and Johnson & Johnson, under the trade name PEPCID. PEPCID quickly gained popularity due to its potency—famotidine is about 30 times more active than the earlier H2 blocker cimetidine—and its lack of significant interactions with the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, making it safer for use with other medications.

PEPCID is available in various formulations, including oral tablets, chewable tablets (such as PEPCID COMPLETE, which combines famotidine with antacids), and injectables. It is marketed in over 110 countries worldwide and is widely recognized for its rapid onset and long-lasting acid control.

PEPCID remains a widely used and trusted medication for acid-related digestive conditions, with a history rooted in both Japanese pharmaceutical innovation and global collaboration. PEPCID is recognized for its fast-acting, long-lasting relief, and is often recommended for both preventative use before eating trigger foods and symptom relief after heartburn begins. With decades of clinical use and widespread consumer trust, PEPCID remains a leading name in acid control therapy.
