AI Summary

A growing number of individuals are experimenting with taking allergy and heartburn medications to alleviate symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Some people are combining over-the-counter allergy pills, such as those containing diphenhydramine or loratadine, with Pepcid AC, a heartburn medication that contains famotidine. This combination is being touted as a potential solution for PMS symptoms. The trend is largely driven by anecdotal evidence and user experiences shared on social media platforms, particularly TikTok.
