Can Famotidine worsen acid reflux symptoms? (Famotidine)

Patient's Query

I'm 17 year old girl. I have been diagnosed with hashimoto's disease and take levothyroxine. Recently I got diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and I was told to take drosperinone birth control. However for the past few days I've been having really terrible heartburn and headaches and I can't lay down to sleep. My doctor said to it's a side effect of the birth control. I want to stop taking it because of the heartburn I've been getting. The doctor gave me famotidine 20 mg tablets to lower my stomach acid. From what I know, the acid reflux i have could also be from too little acid production. So will this Famotidine medication hurt me more? Is it safe to stop taking drosperinone and treat the cyst without involving hormones into my body?

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Talk to your gynecologist before discontinuing Fluoridine 20 mg tablet. It is a histamine-blocker used to treat stomach acid problems and can be taken as directed on prescription without any harm. But uncontrolled discontinuation of drosperinone birth control medication may result in cyst complications.

I have my menstrual period due for 27th May, it is my Boyfriend's birthday, when and how should I start the medicine dose for delaying periods? How will that medicine work?

Female | 21

If you're considering using medication to delay your menstrual period, talk to a gynecologist first. They can guide you on using hormonal birth control pills.. Starting active pills a few days before your expected period and continuing as directed can help delay your period. Always follow medical advice for your safety.

I missed my periods yesterday and took beta HCG blood test today. I turned -ve. Is there any hope for pregnancy few days after?.... Please confirm

Female | 25

Missing a period does not confirm pregnancy, there may be other factors involved; Beta HCG is reliable for early detection of pregnancy; A negative beta test indicates the fact that you are not yet pregnant during testing. Re-test if your period still disappears after seven days or so and seek out professional medical assistance

which tablet should take to get periods. if not pregnant.

Female | 27

I would not recommend taking any pill to bring on periods without first consulting with a gynecologist. Irregular periods may signal other health complications, and without proper assessment taking medication can only make things worse.

Can I be pregnant from grinding on a penis w nothing on and no condom but he was never inside of me and he never came?

Female | 18

A pregnancy may take place if the semen comes into any contact with the vaginal area, whether there is a penetration or ejaculation. It is imperative to have barrier protection while engaging in any type of sexual activity because this way you and your partner will be prevented from having unwanted pregnancies and from contracting sexually transmitted infections.

My last period.was on 17.September I had a positive pregnancy test but my ultrasound shows.the.fetus.is.4.weeks.old,it should've.been 7.weeks.by now, Why is.the.baby not growing properly

Female | 24

I would recommend that you see an obstetrician right away. Slow fetal growth may signal a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Tests and ultrasounds can be run by an obstetrician in order to find the core of this problem. Thus, it is crucial to seek help from an expert obstetrician who can provide the correct diagnosis and treatment.
