performed with the groups,
"R a n ch
D ressin g ",
the

"This Week Magazine" says
The Beck-A-Roos are "th e
sharpest looking country band
around" a "real honky-tonk
band along the lines of Patsy
Cline, Buck Owens, Tammy
Wynette and George Jones."
The band features "a steel
guitarist, turquoise jackets with
silvery horseshoes and a song
list from deep in the heart of
B ak ersfield ," says John
Foyston of "The Oregonian"'.

Popular Stomach Acid
Drugs Move to OTC
Prescription-only medicines for
stomach acid problems recently
have been approved or soon will be
approved for over-the-counter
(OTC) use. These medicines are
classified as histamine-2 (H2) an
tagonists. Two drugs represent the
first o f the H2 type acid-blocking
medicines to be indicated for OTC
status. The first H2 antagonist ap
proved was famotidine (P edcid
AC). From media reports it appears
that cimetidine (Tagamet HB) will
be the next H2 type drug approved.
These OTC medicines have
been approved for esophageal re
flux disease, the medical term for
heartburn. Pepcid AC will be avail
able as a 10 mg tablet for the pre
vention and treatment o f heartburn.
Tagamet HB will be indicated for
heartburn treatment only. Both
drugs have similar side effects
which includes nausea and diar
rhea. Both should be avoided in
persons with a history o f kidney
disease. Nursing mothers should
not take either of these medicines.
At this time it appears that the
biggest difference in the two medi
cines, other than a wider approved
use for Pepsid AC, is the greater
potential for drug interactions with
Tagamet HB. Drug interactions
have occurred when using cimeti
dine along with other medicines
such as warfarin, phenytoin, beta
blockers, and certain antidepres
sant medicines.
