A member asked:
Safe to take pepcid (famotidine) ac daily? i typically only need 10mg. sometimes 20mg. rarely 40mg/24 hrs. how can daily use of pepcid (famotidine) adversely affect us?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pepcid (famotidine): Most people will not have any side affects from long-term use of Pepcid (famotidine). If this helps control your reflux symptoms, great. However, if you have not been formally diagnosed with GERD, you owe it to yourself to have a visit to a gastroenterologist. Chronic reflux can result in Barrett's esophagus in some patients, which can put you at a higher risk of cancer. Talk to your doctor. Good luck.
