They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

  • kidney or liver disease
  • trouble swallowing
  • an unusual or allergic reaction to famotidine, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
