I took pepcid (famotidine) complete 2 nights to help with what felt like indigestion and today my stool was very light tan? should i call my pcp?

There is nothing: wrong with that color.Very very light,almost white,stools can indicate Hepatitis( a lack of bile which gives stool its color) or very,very dark,almost black stools can indicate an upper GI bleed.
