Been getting acid reflux (felt in throat) daily. 10mg or 20mg of famotidine stops it every time. is famotidine damaging long term?

Chronic acid reflux: Pepcid (famotidine) is fairly safe medicine for long term use. If you have recurrent symptoms have yourself checked out for infection or ulcer and appropriately treated.
