Product Overview

Famotidine (generic Pepcid)

  • What is famotidine?
    Famotidine (generic Pepcid) is an over-the-counter drug used to treat GERD - gastroesophageal reflux disease. This condition causes painful heartburn and can eventually damage your esophagus. Famotidine can also be prescribed to treat stomach and esophageal ulcers.

    Tired of feeling that burning sensation in your throat every time you eat a meal? Talk to your doctor about whether famotidine is right for your needs.

  • What are common side effects of famotidine?
    While adverse reactions to famotidine are rare, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects, including headache, dizziness, constipation, and diarrhea.

    Rare, more serious adverse events have been known to occur. If you are concerned that famotidine is causing you to experience any number of these symptoms, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.

Sesame video prescription refill appointments are available 24/7 in all 50 states and can be used whenever you need to talk to a health care provider about a prescription refill.

Online prescription refills are up to the discretion of your provider. If you’re a new patient, most providers will write a prescription for 30 days and may want to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the medication is effective. If you’re a returning patient, your provider may prescribe for a longer period of time.

Prescriptions and prescription refills on Sesame are exclusively cash-pay. We do not accept insurance for the provider appointment or the medication. If a clinician sends your prescription to your local pharmacy, you can pick it up and pay with a method of your choice, including your FSA or HSA card, prescription card, cash, credit, and more.

Most insurance plans do not require prior authorization for medication coverage. When you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription, the pharmacist can use the insurance information they have on file, or you can give them your insurance information for coverage.

Health insurance plans publish a formulary for the drugs covered by the plan and the corresponding drug and copay prices. Check with your insurance provider to find out what drugs require authorization and the specific coverage information regarding the medication you’ve been prescribed.

For patients who book a weight management service through Sesame’s online weight loss management program, providers can assist with prior insurance authorization requests for your medication. For more information, visit our video weight loss program page.

It is helpful to have proof of a prior prescription before your refill visit. Depending on the medication, some Sesame providers may require proof of a prior prescription before refilling it. Your provider may ask to see a picture of an old pill bottle or check for previous prescriptions from another Sesame provider. In some instances, your Sesame provider may also be able to access a national pharmacy system to see prescriptions from non-Sesame providers.
