H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid) (Page 5 of 52)

hello

pepcid ac works wonders but guess what?......they've stopped producing it in the UK!!!! they only sell pepcid complete or 2 now which contains other ingredients as well which i dont really want to shove down my throat! can anyone buy me a big bulk of pepcid MAX, someone in europe would be easier for shipping as i am in the UK... I would of course pay you 1st inc shipping etc.... paypal is easy for payment. I'm away on holiday for 2 weeks this sunday but will be back after that so i can reply then. kenlee@freenet.co.uk   thanks!

ken1, maybe we can work out a deal!  i can send you pepcid ac if you can send me something that is only available in the UK!  let me know if you're interested.

I always break into very intolerable HIVES after I drink with my buddies. Is there something I can take for this? The hives usually last for 2-3 days and I feel like hell. Anyone gotten hives after drinking besides me? Thanks.

I'm in the uk and i can only seem to get my hands on "pepcidTwo".  Anyone know how i can get my hands on some pepcid ac in the UK?

the first few times i used it (x2, x4 and now x6 tablets) they worked wonders. no redness whatsoever. Really great feeling to drink for the first time in my life and not get all the nasty side effects, i also discovered that could could drink more without getting drunk (i used to go so red it was almost like a bruise, ppl thought somebody punched me on both sides of the face. Brilliant.)

Then last month is stopped working.... I'm still experimenting with pepcidTwo, gonna try get some pepcid ac, some how maybe that's better. I tend to find that using pepcidtwo with no food works best. Include food whilst drinking and i'm back to being really really red.

surely, somebody or some company can get some kinda product that officially stops asian flush. Maybe i should contact the beer industry or something, get them to fund the research :)

ok, i just want to thank all of you for this info.

i used to turn red as a lobster after less than a shot, and right now i'm drunk as hell off almost a 3/4ths full glass of tequila, strawberry margarita.

i'm not red at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, i took 1 pepcid ac maximum strength (20mg) about a half hour prior to drinking and i'm chilling. woooo!!!

like everyones been saying, we should find out a way to extract the one element in pepcid ac that helps this cure and patent it to sell to all the asians, including myself.

good lookin people!

Its been almost a month since I joined this messaage board!  Its been working great, and I have definitly been drinking alot this summer.  So once again, thanks for all the messages... Helped me..> :)

Enjoy..................... We all know how it was before we started with PEPCID AC ! :)

I've been using PepcidTwo (I'm in UK and can't get Pepcid AC) for about a year and find it works pretty good for me.  I normally just take 1 tablet (10mg) about 30-45 mins before drinking.  I find that my flush is non-existant or very slight even if it feels like my face is on fire.  This hot feeling wears off the more drinks I have until it is not noticable.  I would normally go red after about 3/4 pint of beer.

Also just found this article posted on the Wall Street Journal about Asian Flush, I'm not sure how long it is available for but some of the more interesing lines in it are as follows:

"With 40% of Asians having the deficient gene that causes this condition, known medically as severe acetaldehydemia, a few small companies are rushing to test new products that they say will alleviate flushing symptoms and allow this group to drink comfortably"

"Meanwhile in South Korea, Edward Jung, an executive with Intellectual Ventures, is trying to create a pill that will exclusively treat the Asian flush. He sees a big market for such a product in Asia, where he says drugstores sell a vast array of herbal supplements for this purpose"

Although Pepcid works for me, I'm a litte concerned about the effects on my stomach as I've noticed after drinking that my stomach doesn't feel right for a couple days.  Anyone else get this?  Anyway, if a pill is developed specifically for Asian Flush that would be great, rather than using a side-effect of another medication to stop redness!

Hey Bez, you sound just like me.

Unfortunately my mass supply of Pepcid AC ran out, and I have to use PecpidTwo starting tonight!

What sort of stomach effects do you mean? With PecpidTwo, apparently it contains Calcium Carbonate (Pepcid AC does not). This can make you constipated.

Been on vacation and drinking for 5 days stgraight. it seems like it does not work that well or anymore on the 4th or 5th day of drinking. has anyone felt the power of pepcid weaken after a weeks of binge drinking?

Yeah, taking it on a full stomach or close to eating reduced the effect for me too.  I tried 4 10mg tabs an hour and a hald before drinking, and it worked fine for me.  best results yet.

After reading all the success with Pepcid, I decided to try some too. I live in the UK as well and only Pepcid Two is available. It did alleviate the redness a bit, I still go pink though. As for the stomach upset, I have been feeling that too! I am wondering whether it is advisable to carry on taking Pepcid Two or is it better to try to get hold of Pepcid AC. I took Pepcid Two, two tablets at a time for 3 nights and by the fourth day, I had stomach upset which lasted a whole day. Could I have a bad reaction to it? Any advice?

since there was no pecid ac availabble in the uk, i tried zantac, it works but it give me a headache for about 5 days after!!! luckly i got myself lots of pepcid ac again while on holiday abroad!
