I have been taking Famotidine 40mg/5ml Oral Susp for acid reflux. I have noticed some serious side effects. The biggest issue is the serious side effects of dizziness and abnormal heartbeat. Do you know if there is an alternative to this medication that is less extreme? If so, what is it? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks! I have tried answering this question and can't find any solutions. Please, help!

I've been prescribed Sucralfate 1gm/10ml U/d Suspension to help heal an ulcer in my duodenum. I've been taking for a few weeks now. The medicine is supposed to form a protective coating over the ulcer, shielding it from stomach acid and helping it heal. However, I've been experiencing some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm really hoping to get some insights and advice from others who have been through this. My doctor mentioned the rare but serious side effects like signs of an allergic reaction or high blood sugar. How likely is it to experience these? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been prescribed Nizatidine 300mg capsules for my ulcers and they seem to be helping, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced any serious issues? I've read about allergic reactions and things like extreme tiredness and bruising. I'm hoping to hear from people who have taken this medication, especially if they've had any negative experiences or tips on managing side effects. I am particularly concerned about how to spot the serious side effects early so I can take action if needed. I've mentioned my concerns to my doctor, but I'd like to hear from others who have been in the same situation.

I was recently admitted to the hospital for severe acid reflux and ulcers. The doctors prescribed me Famotidine 10mg/ml Inj, 2ml, which is an injection form of the medication. I've heard it can help reduce stomach acid but not much about its injection form. Has anyone else received this injection? Did you experience any side effects? I noticed a slight headache after the first dose, so I'm curious about others' experiences. If you have any insights or advice, please share!
