Hi,
Famotidine and Histac Evt (Ranitidine) are H2 antagonists. They are helpful in reducing gastric acidity. I would suggest you to go or a comprehensive evaluation of your gastric problem. There are other options like Proton pump inhibitors (more effective). If H.pylori is tested positive, you will be offered antibiotics combination for its eradication. It also means you may no longer need long term medications. Though both H2 antagonists and Proton pump inhibitors have a relatively better safety profile on long term use, it is still advisable to limit their use to necessary duration. They are shown to cause some long term effects. In addition to medications lifestyle modifications like eating meals at regular frequency, less spicy food and stress management helps a long way in addressing gastric problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
