APO-FAMOTIDINE is generally well tolerated. Should any unusual symptoms occur talk to your doctor. Side effects such as headache, diarrhea, lung infections, and vomiting were reported in studies where people took either the drug or a placebo (tablet with no medication). Each group had about the same number of side effects.

Doses of up to 800 mg/day have been employed in patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions with no serious adverse effects. In the event of overdosage, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Unabsorbed material should be removed from the gastrointestinal tract, the patient should be monitored, and supportive therapy should be employed.
