A member asked:
Might an h2 blocker like pepcid (famotidine) to cause a bowel obstruction or even a partial bowel obstruction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Intestinal obstruction (in contrast with adynamic ileus) is a mechanical problem, caused most often by obstruction, less often by intestinal tumors or internal hernias. Some meds can cause ileus, but h2 blockers do not.
