Famotidine

Uses

Famotidine is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), peptic ulcer disease, and heartburn.

How it Works

How Famotidine Works Famotidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist. It functions by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps alleviate acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Famotidine include headache, diarrhea, drowsiness, and constipation.

Expert Advice

  • Famotidine is a well-tolerated and safe medication with a very low incidence of side effects.
  • Take it with or without food.
  • If you are also taking other medications to treat acidity (e.g., antacids), take them 2 hours before or after taking Famotidine.
  • Avoid soft drinks and citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, which can irritate the stomach and increase acid secretion.
  • Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Famotidine for 2 weeks, as you may be experiencing other underlying issues.
  • Notify your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney disease, as the dosage of your medication may need adjustment.
  • Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
  • If you are taking Famotidine once a day, it is recommended to take it before going to bed, as it is effective in controlling stomach acid released during sleep.
