Hearburn Medications Part II. Generic Pepcid AC, Zantac, and Prilosec

My personal battle with heartburn appears to be over thanks to generic Pepsid AC made by Equate and featured at Wal-Mart. Equate features generic versions of the following at lower costs that vary depending on the drug:

Zantac
Prilosec
Pepsid AC

All are used for the treatment of digestive problems, most notably heartburn. My personal experience was to try Tagamet which brought some relief but did not seem to do nearly as good a job as the generic Pepsid AC.

Here's a nice summary of Heartburn issues:
