as it was was to prevent this type of Dr. Oz spectacle leading to hoarding of Famotidine. Good luck trying to obtain Pepcid now.

It's times like this that I'm even more relieved that I've got an "cast iron stomach".

Didn't have any masks, gloves, hand sanitizer or alcohol - but I have at least 2 bottles of Famotidine (one rx, one OTC) from when my stomach issues were just starting back up. Yay one thing for the pandemic is actually in my possession. I've made masks, gotten hand sanitizer from hubby's work but still can't get non-latex gloves or alcohol - there just is none in this area or on Amazon

I'm not going back to Famotidine because it's not strong enough these days, but will keep a watch on any news about this and will definitely not throw my pills away.

given intravenously at 9 times the dosage for the treatment of heartburn. Taking over the counter pepcid tablets is completely ineffective. They have no idea if it will actually work. The study is based only on anecdotal evidence from China.
