Nausea: It is minor side effect of this medication. Call your doctor if you can not tolerate so your doctor changes it to another h2 blocker or to ppi .
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

I have autoimmune atrophic gastritis. I also had been taking Pepcid for GERD. My gastrin levels are normal per lab results. Can famotidine make gastrin levels appear normal or does famotidine raise gastrin levels? Thank you?
