Shipping is added at their checkout. Pymander adds no fee or markup. Prices checked October 11, 2026 and can change.

What Famotidine is
Famotidine is an H2 blocker. It blocks a signal (histamine) that tells the stomach to make acid, so it works a bit differently from a PPI.
What it’s for
Heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It can be taken before a meal that tends to cause heartburn.
How it’s taken
Once or twice a day, with or without food.
Good to know
People with kidney disease often need a lower dose, since high levels can cause confusion. It is generally well tolerated.
When to get help
Vomiting blood or what looks like coffee grounds, black or tarry stools, or severe belly pain need care right away: call 911 or go to the ER.
