A member asked:
Parent ill after prednisone. now on pepcid (famotidine) 20mg 2x a day, but gets dilantin 200mg nightly. how many hours apart to safely take pepcid (famotidine) and dilantin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SEE BELOW: Dilantin interacts with numerous medications, and not worthwhile to do cumbersome approach with alternating Pepcid (famotidine) and Dilantin. OK to take them together, and if your doctor is concerned, a Dilantin blood level can allow dose adjustment to therapy range if required.
