A member asked:
To minimize stomach upset, should i take pepcid (famotidine) 20mg before or after low dose aspirin?

Before: You can also take enteric coated Aspirin or Bayers Aspirin to avoid stomach upset as it is absorbed in the intestine If you have heart burn Pepcid (famotidine) is taken twice daily.

Aspirin prophylaxis: In a study of 401 patients taking aspirin, the use of 12 weeks of Pepcid (famotidine) 20 mg twice daily proved beneficial. This therapy reduced the incidence of peptic ulcer or esophagitis during follow-up endoscopy. (Ref. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/710840) Your question is however a different one, & use of Pepcid (famotidine) for your queried indication cannot be answered by existing literature.
