Precautions & Warnings

• Famotidine has relatively few clinically significant drug interactions, but all medicines and supplements should be reviewed by a healthcare professional.
• Medicines requiring an acidic stomach for absorption may have reduced absorption, including some azole antifungals and other acid-dependent medicines.
• Antacids may generally be used when advised, but separating administration can help avoid absorption problems with other medicines.
• Tell the healthcare professional about prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements before use.

• Available observational data have not shown a clear increase in major birth defects with famotidine exposure, but use during pregnancy should be based on medical advice.
• Use the lowest effective dose when treatment is considered necessary during pregnancy.
• Famotidine may pass into breast milk; consult a healthcare professional before breastfeeding use, particularly when treating a newborn or premature infant.
