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.

I was wondering what type of schedule did anyone use to wean off of Pepcid?

At the same time you wean off the medication you should do the lifestyle changes recommended for acid reflux (no coffee, chocolate, eat dinner early, raise head of bed, etc...), and have TUMS or Gaviscon Advance to take as needed
