I am sure you know what I am talking about Darien :) and it is a worry when my indigestion is bad BUT I have had problems for years with reflux. Still …. :(
I was talking to a Scottish 73 year old outside The Warehouse today . She was messing with her empty trolley and I said I would take it and she got chatting how she had had 3 strokes and needed the trolley to get around the shops. I got her life story.... I thought I was bad for yapping to strangers but she was worse  :) She did look older than me so I thought ….. but she said she felt young.

Oh my GOODNESS..............I just looked again and noticed the PRICE..............they are so expensive, WOW!!!    Larry does buy the generic and maybe you could do that.  At least we know this drug is available in New Zealand.  I'm sure our Pepcid isn't that expensive.

Thank you.  I have written down all the information and I will go to the Warehouse Pharmacy maybe Tuesday or Wednesday and I will ask them about it.   It does say ' Other H2 blockers are cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac),'    I do take Zantac sometimes.
 I have to say I would NEVER pay $54.81 for a month's supply of these !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is a crazy price.

Ranitidine can no longer be purchased here, it is banned because it can cause cancer I guess?  I forget the reason.  I doubt you can buy it there either.  This is just a very recent thing.
The Pepcid works best for Larry.

I'm surprised that you can buy it there.

I DID buy it... I looked in my top cupboard where I keep any medicine type things and there was a packet of Gaviscon.  I must have bought it a few weeks ago as I did not know it was there. I have to use the little 2 step ladder to get up there so I don't look up there very often !  I had a clear out !

I might be wrong about this.  I know they pulled some off the shelves here but it might just have been a batch that was contaminated in some way.  I don't have time now but I'll look later.
