Is It Safe To Take Famotidine With Omeprazole?

i am currently taking famotidine which was prescribed after an endo. Now, two weeks later after an colon scope I was prescribed Omeprazole. I was still woozy after the test and i do not remember if i was told to stop the first one and just take the second or should i take them both?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
It will be better to stop taking Omeprazole and continue famotidine. It will also do almost the same final effects as Omeprazole, and that is lowering the stomach acids.


Hope I answered all of your queries. Any concerns feel free to contact me. If satisfied, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
