• Published pediatric regimens are weight-based and may vary by age and indication; a commonly studied oral regimen is approximately 0.5 mg/kg per dose, with frequency determined by age and clinical condition.
• For children and adolescents, dosing should be individualized and should not exceed the prescriber's recommended maximum.
• Infants, especially those younger than 3 months, and children with kidney disease require specialist supervision.

Side Effects

• Common effects may include headache, dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort.
• Children and infants may rarely experience irritability, agitation, drowsiness, or headache.
• Serious but uncommon reactions include rash, facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty, severe skin reactions, confusion, hallucinations, irregular heartbeat, or unusual bleeding.
• Stop the medicine and seek urgent medical care for signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Contraindications

• Do not use in anyone with a known allergy to famotidine or other H2-receptor antagonists.
• Use cautiously in kidney impairment because famotidine is primarily eliminated by the kidneys.
• Seek medical evaluation before use for unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, persistent vomiting, or severe abdominal pain.
• Long-term self-treatment should be avoided if symptoms persist or recur frequently.

Precautions & Warnings

• Medicines requiring an acidic stomach environment for absorption may have reduced absorption, including some azole antifungals and other acid-dependent medicines.
• Antacids may generally be used when directed, but separate them from other medicines if advised by a healthcare professional.
• Tell the prescriber about all medicines, particularly drugs with a narrow therapeutic range or medicines affected by kidney function.
• Alcohol may worsen gastrointestinal irritation or dizziness and should be limited.

• Use during pregnancy only when clearly needed and after consultation with a healthcare professional.
• Famotidine passes into breast milk in low amounts and is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding; monitor the infant for unusual irritability, drowsiness, or feeding problems.
• Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with the prescriber before starting treatment.
