A member asked:

How long does it take for famotidine to take away the acid pain?

Specializes in Pharmacology

If it works (it’s not always effective in every person who takes it), one may expect to experience symptom relief within one to three hours. A single dose has an effect that usually lasts ten to twelve hours.
