Both medications work in similar ways to block the action of histamine in the digestive system. As antihistamines, they ultimately reduce the production of acid. Despite their similarities, they also have some differences to review.<\/p>\n<h2>Pepcid<\/h2>\n<p>Pepcid is the brand name for famotidine. It works as an antihistamine to reduce the production of acid and prevent irritation. Pepcid is approved to treat conditions like GERD, stomach ulcers, esophagitis, and other digestive conditions. It can also treat occasional heartburn.<\/p>\n<p>Pepcid comes as a 10 mg, 20mg, and 40 mg oral tablet. The dose used depends on the condition being treated. However, it may be taken more than once per day for up to 6 weeks in some cases.<\/p>\n<h2>Zantac<\/h2>\n<p>Zantac is also known by its generic name ranitidine. It blocks acid production in the stomach by blocking histamine receptors. Zantac can be used to treat GERD, stomach ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and other digestive conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Zantac is available as an oral tablet in strengths of 75 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg. It can be taken once or twice daily although dosage depends on your condition. Zantac, like other similar drugs, is not typically used long term.<\/p>\n<h2>Pepcid vs Zantac Side by Side Comparison<\/h2>\n<p>Pepcid and Zantac are two medications with several similarities and differences.
