Hi Everyone,

                         Thanks to echeng and steph for starting and contributing to this forum, I have found it really useful.I had stumbled across this site maybe 1.5 years ago and tried initially tried Zantac and now also a generic brand of Famotidine. I have had some success with both but it doesnt stop the redness completely. For some reason I seem to remember having more success with Zantac, however will need to try it again to be sure. You need a prescription in Australia to get famo, and it only comes in 40mg per tablet, so its either 40mg or 80mg, most people seem to have had success with just 40 so I think I will cut down to 40 and see how it goes. I only drink every now and then, however after taking 80mg and after 3-4 beers I seemed to have been feeling nauseous but not drunk, however I seem to recall taking Zantac and being able to consume more and still feel ok. Also I seem to have occasional pain in my side recently for some reason, not sure if this is from too much famo or probably just a coincidence, thats why i am reluctant about taking more than 40mg.

Does anyone find taking more mg makes you less able to tolerate the alcohol?
Has anyone had any noticeable side effects?
Has anyone found Zantac work better than Pepcid?
Has anyone used the generic famotidine and found it to be effective? 

Thanks Guys, together we can beat this thing haha.
