Just got prescribed ibuprofen and famotidine. Has anyone taken this medication. Did it help? ## Hello, Silvia! How are you? Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain and swelling. Famotidine is an antacid that can help prevent the stomach damage and irritation that the NSAID can cause. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased risk of bleeding. Has anyone been on this combo who can share their experience?
