Precautions & Warnings

• Tell a healthcare professional about all medicines being used, including nonprescription products and supplements.
• Famotidine may reduce stomach acidity and affect absorption of medicines that require an acidic environment, such as some antifungal or antiviral medicines.
• Antacids may generally be used with famotidine, but follow healthcare-professional advice regarding timing.
• Other acid-reducing medicines may increase the risk of unnecessary duplicate therapy.
• Kidney disease and medicines that affect heart rhythm or mental status may require additional monitoring.

Pregnancy

• Available observational data have not shown an increased risk of major birth defects with famotidine exposure, but it should be used during pregnancy only when recommended by a healthcare professional.
• Discuss treatment with a doctor before use during pregnancy, especially for prolonged therapy.
• Famotidine passes into breast milk in low amounts and is not generally expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants.
• Consult a healthcare professional before use while breastfeeding.
