Just got prescribed Famotidine 20mg/50ml Inj. What should I expect?
I've never had an IV injection for my heartburn before so am curious to learn more. How does Famotidine compare to other acid reducers? What if I experience side effects? I need to know what to expect.

I've had IV famotidine numerous times. It's usually pretty safe, but I had a headache each time. It went away on its own after a few hours.
I was given famotidine injection and was in the ER for 8 hours long. Never again. I'd stick to oral meds if I can.
Famotidine is commonly given in hospital settings for severe acid reflux. It works faster than oral meds but can have serious side effects. Be aware of those.
I've been on the oral version for a while. It's helped with my heartburn, but I've heard the injection is more intense. Definitely talk to your doctor about any concerns.
I had famotidine injections for a week, and I felt a lot better within a few days. It's amazing how quickly it works. I had a few headaches, but nothing too bad. I'd say it's worth it if you're in a lot of pain.
I've had famotidine injections multiple times and never had any side effects, I have had a couple of friends have mild headaches. Make sure you tell your doctor about any meds you're taking, just in case. Have you asked your doctor about the specific reason for the injection over pills?
Famotidine is great for immediate relief, especially if you can't keep oral meds down due to vomiting. My mom had it when she was in the hospital with severe acid reflux. Make sure to report any unusual symptoms to your doctor right away.
I've had it before. The injection site might hurt a bit, but it's nothing serious. Just make sure you tell your doctor if you feel dizzy or get hives.
I had a bad reaction to it. My throat swelled up, and I couldn't breathe. Scary stuff. If you feel anything like that, go to the ER ASAP.
