Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is this different from Tums?
Antacids like Tums neutralize acid already in the stomach and work for about 30–60 minutes. Famotidine is an H2-blocker that stops the production of acid for up to 12 hours.
Can I take this every day?
You should not take this medication for more than 14 days in a row without consulting your doctor. If your heartburn persists, it may be a sign of a more serious condition.
Why do you suggest the GoodSense 2-pack?
The GoodSense 2-pack offers the exact same clinical dosage and tablet count but is often priced more competitively and qualifies for free shipping, providing you with a better overall value.
