Famotidine (H2 Receptor Antagonist)
Famotidine (H2 Receptor Antagonist)
MATH+ '+' protocol advocates the use of Famotidine based on the study showing reduction in the risk of intubation and death in COVID-19 patients.
Famotidine, sold under the brand name Pepcid among others, is a medication that decreases stomach acid production.[2] It is used to treat peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.[2] It is taken by mouth or by injection into a vein.[2] It begins working within an hour.[2]
Common side effects include headache, intestinal upset, and dizziness.[2] Serious side effects may include pneumonia and seizures.[2][3] Use in pregnancy appears safe but has not been well studied while use during breastfeeding is not recommended.[4] It is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist.[2]
