Hi Del,
I've never used the gelcaps; I only ever used the tablets. I'd guess that the other ingredients are probably just some kind of binders or fillers, but like you, I be reluctant to use it without knowing for sure that it was OK.
In terms of the dosage, my understanding for medications like Pepcid is that the interval that's important is giving it before meals, not how far apart the meals are. I'm not saying this very well (having a severely "blonde" day), but unlike antibiotics which would be given at timed intervals, the tummy medicines are given prior to eating, whatever time that might be.

I bought the Gelcaps Pepcid AC and the ingredients do not compare with the regular Pepcid AC square tablets ... the gelcaps are solid and can be quartered but list several other ingredients and I am reluctant to use them unless some of you already have used them without any problems with the kitty. Of course, the sales receipt is already in the trash :( but I prefer to throw them out then have a bad reaction for kitty.Also ... in the morning Noah has 1/4 Pepcid about 7am, 15 minutes before his breakfast ... should he have the next one 15 minutes before his supper which would be about 5pm or is that too close together to give the meds? Or should I wait until later in the evening even though he has already eaten? I feel quite stupid about the best way to give them to his best advantage. I'd really appreciate the input, his mouth is a mess of sores and he has spewed some projectile vomiting ... clear bright yellow liquid. The vet saw him last week, there were eosinophils along with mucho bacteria. He had a Depo injection and on Clavamox, with very slow improvement. Our vet is on vacation this week and while I could call him I prefer not to unless it is a dire emergency.Del
