A member asked:
Is famitodine as safe as ranitidine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ranitidine and famotidine are both in the same class of Acid reducing drugs. They share the same general lack of side effects, and generally are safe to take. However, ranitidine was taken off the market because of impurities which may have increased the risk of cancer. So if these are your only two choices, famotidine is the clear winner. Good luck.
