Generic Name: Famotidine for Stomach Ulcer (famotidine)
Famotidine for Stomach Ulcer Reviews
"Having stomach pains resulting from oral antibiotic treatment for diverticulitis. Famotidine worked great - pain went away overnight. Had huge anxiety attack on second day (never had one before). Was on Famotidine 20 mg twice/day. Decided to stop it."
"I've been suffering for years with stomach ulcers. Recently my doctor prescribed me this medication. It has worked like a charm. A lot of the pains has gone away and I somewhat feel normal. How long this will last I don't know. But I think it's a very good medication and people are giving it a bad reputation for no good reason. I can't live without my medication."
"This med really aggravated my IBS and I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone with this condition take it. I experienced terrible bloating and severe gas pains (like IBS on steroids) and eventually diarrhea. Was told by doc to use this for a suspected large ulcer and possible herniation and ultimately it didn't help much at all with that. Can't get in to see a gastroenterologist until September, but in the meantime no way will I use this again! Also, since I have had issues with diverticulitis as well, can't chance this awful drug again."
"From the first day I felt 1000% better. I have had stomach and lower intestine issues for 2 years since covid. I haven't felt this good in years. It has helped my overall health along with dizzy issues, why I don't know but don’t care Highly recommended"
"The second day I starting taking this medicine it caused severe stomach pains. The pains were so bad that I almost went to the emergency room. I had severe stomach pains for 7 days. The pain would come on every day for 3 to 4 hours very intensive pains. I stopped taking the medicine and the pain ended. I was very glad to figure this out. I feel much better."
"Apparently many others on this thread have not had a phone dialed to 911 in one hand and screaming in nightmarish pain. This came out of nowhere at age 42, 6 months AFTER stopping smoking, now I ended up with this bad stomach pain. No previous issues EVER. Looonnggg story short, if it wasn't for Dollar General brand (specific and exact) famotidine 20mg white pill I would still be in pain. However, because of Lawyers on TV, in November of 2020 D.G. began to pull ALL of this miracle med from their shelves and I was in a panic. They slowly put it back, but its not quite the same and now I suffer. Can't work for the pain."
"I also have other digestive problems like I can't burp or pass wind on my own, I produce a lot of gas, have heart burn, sour stomach, and bloating. This medicine was not the first but it works for all these and more. Better than the name brands. U I take 20 mg per day and have for over 25 years and it hasn't stopped doing the job."
"Have used this frequently, often in conjunction with a PPI, for chronic and erosive gastritis. It has helped. I have had no negative side effects. The only problem with this med is tachyphylaxis (it loses its effect fairly quickly if taken a number of days in a row), so I use it intermittently when the PPI is not doing the job, or when I am not on a PPI and have a flare up, it acts very quickly."
"I started taking this after developing a peptic ulcer and esophagitis. It has worked well, allowing me to heal in a timely fashion. I continue to take it several nights a week when I have excess stomach acid. You can buy it OTC and double the dose to match Rx strength. No side effects for me."
"Famotidine is a wonderful drug, especially for my heartburn. I can also take it with my epilepsy medications (Lamotrigine, Vimpat). Good stuff, man."
"For me it was a miracle. No heartburn whatsoever, and I can now sleep."
