Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check the complete brand name, famotidine, 10 mg per tablet, NDC 16837-872-20, the 30-tablet carton (3 blisters × 10 tablets), film-coated oral tablet and target market together. Seeing only “Pepcid”, “famotidine” or “30 tablets” does not prove another strength, package or market product is the same.
• 10 mg is the ingredient amount in each tablet of this labelled product; 30 tablets and 10 tablets per blister only describe the package. They are not rules for how many tablets a person should use at once, how often, for how long, how to make up a missed use or whether to double.
• PEPCID AC Maximum Strength 20 mg is not this 10 mg strength; PEPCID Complete also contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide and is a combination product. A shared brand, similar use or heartburn wording does not establish self-switching, combining or alternating.
• When using prescription medicines, OTC products, supplements or another acid-reducing/gastrointestinal product, take every actual pack and the complete medicine list to a pharmacist or clinician for review. Difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or another acute/serious concern requires local medical support first; this page does not decide self-starting, continuing, stopping or changing.
