How safe is Famotidine 40 mg ?

Posted by ksdm @ksdm, Jun 26, 2024

I was taking pain pills (many different types) for a muscle spasm in my back and got an "acid stomach" as a result. I was on a PPI for a month which worked and when I stopped, the acid stomach came back. I started taking Famotodine and after a few weeks, I was symptom-free!! I wonder if I could stop taking it now or do you think my acid stomach would come back? I have no side effects from the drug.

@jamiecojeda9999 - Hello, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

Here are a few articles that may address your question about hypertension, or high blood pressure, and eggplant and lobster:

- Effect of eggplant (Solanum melongena) on the metabolic syndrome: A review https://ijbms.mums.ac.ir/article_17743.html

- Are There Health Benefits of Lobster? https://www.webmd.com/diet/are-there-health-benefits-of-lobster

- Lobster’s healthfulness depends on how it’s served https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/lobster-healthy-protein/

Sounds like with lobster, it's especially important how and with what it's served.

jamiecojeda9999 - many members in this discussion have been talking about famotidine and its safety. Wondering if you take this medication, and if you have stomach ulcers, heartburn or acid indigestion, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?
