Understanding Alcohol Flush
Alcohol flush, also known as Asian flush or Asian glow, is a reaction that occurs in 600 million people worldwide. This reaction results in symptoms such as redness of the face, sweating, rapid heart rate, nausea and more.

Role of Pepcid and Zantac
Pepcid (famotidine) and Zantac (ranitidine) are histamine H2receptor blockers that are commonly used to manage heartburn, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers. However, these medications have also gained popularity as a quick fix for alcohol flush. The idea behind using these drugs is that they reduce stomach acid, which can slow down the conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde. By doing so, they aim to minimize the symptoms of alcohol flush.
Problem with Pepcid and Zantac
Short-Term Relief
he major issue with Pepcid and Zantac is that they provide only short-term relief. While they may delay the conversion of alcohol into acetaldehyde, they do not address the underlying problem: the inefficient metabolism of acetaldehyde due to a dormant ALDH2 enzyme. This means that while the redness and warmth of the face may be less severe during the drinking session, the toxic acetaldehyde still accumulates in the body and can lead to various health risks.
Masking the Problem
Perhaps the most critical point to consider is that Pepcid and Zantac merely mask the symptoms of alcohol flush without addressing its root cause. The genetic variation in ALDH2 that leads to alcohol flush is a part of an individual's DNA and cannot be changed. Therefore, depending on these medications does not contribute to a healthier long-term approach to managing alcohol flush and its associated risks.
Potential Health Risks
Both Pepcid and Zantac have faced significant controversy in recent years. Ranitidine, the active ingredient in Zantac, was found to contain a potential carcinogen, leading to its removal from the market in several countries. While famotidine (Pepcid) has a history of having negative interactions with other medications. Relying on these drugs as a regular remedy for alcohol flush can expose individuals to unnecessary health risks.
