What is better for sulfur burps, famotidine, or omeprazole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on...: ...dose, frequency /duration of use, & drug tolerance but in general the PPI (proton pump inhibitor) class of acid blockers (like omeprazole) is more efficacious than the previous generation of H2 blockers (like famotidine).
