For Gastric Ulcer Maintenance Treatment "After horrible pain on a number of separate occasions that would go on for hours, leaving me exhausted and ill, vomiting, and feeling nauseous and debilitated. Just one of these tablets stopped the pain completely within 20 minutes, unbelievable!"

For GERD "I'm a young adult who experienced GERD through my teenage years, finally got diagnosed with it at 18. Was on Zantac for a bit, but sadly it kept making me vomit to the point that taking it overnight would wake me up in the middle of the night to vomit what I couldn't hold back. My doctor then prescribed Pepcid (famotidine), and it works wonders while being gentle on the stomach. I recommend it for others!"

For GERD "I’ve been dealing with chronic nausea and vomiting for almost 20 years. It took 2 years to be diagnosed with GERD because it started out sporadic and kept getting diagnosed as gastritis. Finally started a PPI, and life returned to normal. But after a few years, the Rx itself stopped working. So I’d switch to a different brand. Now, as a SAHM (stay-at-home mother) with 2 small children, my current relapse left me useless and depressed since it’s my youngest son’s birthday. Antiemetics weren’t even helping anymore. But the on-call Dr recommended Zantac, and I almost instantly felt better! It hasn’t been a full 24 hours yet, so only time will tell if it keeps on working. But right now, I’m so happy and grateful to be feeling myself again and able to enjoy my boy’s birthday!"

For GERD "I was in agony and vomiting 45 minutes ago, now, after taking Zantac, I am exhausted but pain-free. Going to take a second pill so I get a full 24 hours of relief from pain and vomiting. My only qualm is waiting 45 minutes for relief when you are in such pain seems like an eternity!"

For GERD "Am a young patient with GERD, had it since I was 15, and now I'm 20. This medicine also always makes me vomit, a few hours from taking it. The sensation can't be held back, it just forces you to vomit, even in the middle of the night when you wanted overnight relief. I was told to get GERD-relieving meds over the counter until the doctor prescribed famotidine, and it works wonders!"
