TFW the ER doctor knows what MCAS is and jumps right to giving you a liter of fluid plus benadryl and famotidine 😭🥹😭

(I declined the benadryl to start since iv famotidine is usually super effective for me, since my MCAS is so gut-centric, but relieved to know she's game to add it)

I have MCAS and take loratidine, cetirizine, and famotidine twice daily. For COVID prevention, loratidine or cetirizine + famotidine is probably good enough.

The doses are the same. When you test positive for COVID, start taking:

-20 mg cetirizine or loratidine
-20 mg famotidine
-Every 12 hours
-Until you are completely recovered
September 21, 2025 at 9:10 PM
For the record, that adds up to 20mg cetirizine twice a day, 20mg loratidine twice a day, 20mg famotidine twice a day, 50mg diphenhydramine once a day, and 25mg promethazine twice a day.

--at twice the frequency on the bottle and twice the dosage for the H1. H1 antihistamines: cetirizine, loratidine, fexofenadine, etc. Cetirizine/loratidine dosage is 20mg every 12 hours; fexofenadine is 360mg every 12 hours. H2 antihistamine: famotidine, 20mg every 12 hours.

Because the new COVID vaccine is out and someone asked me for a reminder: it's 50mg diphenhydramine 15m before the shot or 20mg cetirizine 2-3 hours before (if you have MCAS add an extra 20mg famotidine + 10mg montelukast (if taking) when you take the others) to avoid feeling like death

I guess that makes me Famotidine the Fabulous~

HA HA!!!!!! I HAVE WON THE FAMOTIDINE WAR!

FILLED *AND* THE CORRECT DOSAGE!
This pharmacy tech really just asked me "do you *really* need it?" while trying to figure out how to refill it because my dr changed the dosage but I had just filled my old amount. And now the pharmacy won't fill it until the 19th.

I have 3 days left.

Adding famotidine (a H2 antihistamine) also can help; max dose there is 40mg/day. I'm creeping up on the line between mild and moderate MCAS and my current baseline is 10mg cetirizine + 10mg loratidine + 20mg famotidine every 12 hours + like 5 other things as MC stabilizers, sigh.

Many countries don't have famotidine or cimetidine available OTC and it needs a prescription. Note: proton pump inhibitors (another type of antacid) are NOT H2 antihistamines and won't work for COVID prevention.
September 21, 2025 at 9:10 PM
Pepcid = famotidine, Zantac = the now withdrawn ranitidine (RIP), Zantac 360 = famotidine, Reactine = cetirizine, if that helps any!

I’m a pretty informed patient and completely spaced on the word Famotidine in the ED yesterday
I could only picture the Costco acid reducer and that it was a blue label
May 18, 2025 at 2:22 AM
I'm living the kind of life now where daily famotidine and a nightly bite guard are absolute requirements. Cool.
March 5, 2025 at 3:50 PM
This correct?

1. famotidine + cetirizine Or

2. famotidine + loratidine

DONT LOOK AT THE oh shit buy one get one 30% off on famotidine lets go DONT LOOK AT THE PORN I DREW

I've suspected mast cell involvement in COVID ever since I suddenly couldn't get famotidine for six months in 2020 because Sinai did their medication review of patients in that first wave and discovered famotidine + H1 antihistamine strongly correlated with improved outcomes.
December 3, 2023 at 3:48 PM
Thanks so much! I got them to start cetirizine and metformin, but will add the famotidine.
