General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Famotidine is a histamine-2 (H-2) blocker. It works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces.
It is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines.
Adult dose is 20 milligrams (mg) two times per day or 40 mg once a day at bedtime.
In case you cannot take two doses as you are suggesting, it would be better for you to switch over and take a single dose of 40 mg at bedtime.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
