Certain preparations of famotidine are available over the counter (OTC) in various countries. In the United States, preparations of 10 mg and 20 mg tablets, sometimes in combination with a more traditional antacid, are available OTC. Larger doses still require a prescription.
Famotidine is given to surgery patients before operations to prevent post-operation nausea and to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonitis.
Famotidine is also given to some patients who take NSAIDs, to prevent peptic ulcers. It serves as an alternative to Proton-pump inhibitor.
It is also given to dogs with acid reflux.
Famotidine has also been used in combination with an H1 antagonist to treat and prevent urticaria caused by an acute allergic reaction.
I felt a slight reduction in stomach burning after a few hours of taking, but even with the maximum strength 20mg twice per day, it took 2-3 days before I felt like it really started to eliminate my gastritis. It also has a bad taste in my mouth. Nice that you do have a script, cause I hadnt. Purchased famotidine from reputable overseas http://www.pompharmacy.com
