Re: reaction to Pepcid AC?

[Guest guest]

I have used pepcid many many times and never had a bad reaction nor have I

heard of one, but that doesn't mean that your kid didn't have a reaction to

it. There is always one that disproves the rule.

could someone please tell me what kind of Pepcid AC you use and how much and

how often. My son had something he wasn't supposed to and I'm waiting to see

what happens. I could not find andy Alka Seltzer Gold at all in any stores

but I wasn't sure what kind of Pepcid AC to give him either. Do you usually

give it when you see the strange behaviors coming on or right away? Please

let me know as soon as you can because I don't want him to be crazy for the

holidays.

Thanks, Holly, for your response. It turns out that Caleb was really much

better this morning. So maybe the Pepcid AC helped--at least it didn't seem

to hurt. I didn't want to scare anyone off of using it if they need it.

You need to give it as soon as possible after the slip up. you give 1 10mg

tablet of non-chewable over the counter Pepcid AC.
