A member asked:
Is pepcid (famotidine) safe for everyday use? thinking of switching from prilosec to pepcid (famotidine)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pepcid (famotidine) long term: short answer - yes but my concern is given you age - why are you requiring either a proton pump inhibitor (prilosec) or an H2 blocker (pepcid) on a regular basis?? Assuming you have a medical condition requiring acid suppression - long term use may be appropriate. However, if you are taking it without a clear diagnosis - you need to be seen and evaluated to determine what is wrong.
