A member asked:

Hi, i've been taking famotidine for about 2 weeks and am having white/ very light gray stools. should i be concerned, or is this a side effect of pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing of concern: Famotidine is a safe drug with little or no side effects. You should not get too concerned about the color of your stools.
