Brief Answer:
Could be Pepcid
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Pepcid (Famotidine) if given intravenous can cause dizziness. This is transient and self-limiting. There is no need for any intervention. A brief period of rest will speed up the recovery.
Steroids do not cause such dizziness.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
