About famotidine (Pepcid) prescriptions

Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD
Yes, Pepcid is the original brand name for famotidine. Both contain the same active ingredient and work to reduce the production of stomach acid.
Yes, you can get famotidine (Pepcid) over the counter in 10 mg and 20 mg strengths for the temporary relief of heartburn. Higher strengths, like 40 mg, require a prescription from a healthcare provider.
Yes, on Sesame, you can speak to a provider online to evaluate your acid reflux symptoms. If it's right for you, your provider can issue a prescription for higher-strength famotidine or recurring refills you can pick up at your local pharmacy.
Yes, famotidine (Pepcid) is FDA-approved to prevent and relieve heartburn from acid indigestion and sour stomach caused by eating or drinking certain foods or drinks.
To prevent occasional heartburn symptoms, take famotidine 10 to 60 minutes before consuming your trigger food or drink. If you already have symptoms, take famotidine as soon as you start experiencing them.
Yes, famotidine is a common treatment for acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It reduces the volume and acidity of stomach acid, helping ease symptoms like chest discomfort, throat irritation, and regurgitation.
Famotidine (Pepcid) is an H2 blocker that begins reducing stomach acid within 1 hour. This makes it ideal for fast, on-demand relief. Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a different type of medication that shuts down the acid-producing pumps directly. Omeprazole offers stronger, longer-lasting acid suppression for chronic conditions, but it takes longer to start working (1 to 4 days).
Over-the-counter famotidine (Pepcid) should not be used for more than 14 consecutive days without consulting a provider. Prescription famotidine can be taken daily for chronic conditions like GERD, but is done so under medical supervision. Long-term use without the oversight of a provider can mask underlying conditions or lead to reduced effectiveness over time.
Inform your provider if you have kidney disease, stomach cancer, liver problems, or a history of long QT syndrome before taking famotidine (Pepcid). Tell them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and about all medications you take, as lowering stomach acid can reduce the absorption of certain antifungal or HIV drugs.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next one, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up a dose to make up for a missed one.
Taking too much famotidine (Pepcid) can lead to severe vomiting, extreme restlessness, rapid heart rate, fainting, or confusion. Seek immediate medical care if you experience these symptoms.
Store your tablets at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F, away from excessive light, moisture, and heat. Keep them away from children and pets.
