Contraindications

• Use cautiously in kidney disease; dose adjustment may be required.
• Persistent, recurrent, or alarming symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, unexplained weight loss, or severe abdominal pain require medical assessment before treatment.

Precautions & Warnings

• Antacids may be used when advised, but separate them from famotidine by approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
• Famotidine may affect the absorption of medicines that require an acidic stomach environment, including some azole antifungals; consult a pharmacist or prescriber.
• Tell the prescriber about all medicines, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and supplements, especially medicines affected by kidney function.
• Alcohol and smoking may worsen acid-related symptoms and should be avoided or limited.

Pregnancy

• Use during pregnancy only when recommended by a healthcare professional after considering expected benefits and potential risks.
• Available observational data have not shown a clear increase in congenital malformations with famotidine exposure, but evidence remains limited.
• Famotidine passes into breast milk in low amounts and is generally not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants; consult a clinician before use while breastfeeding.
