We excluded those who received both famotidine and pantoprazole treatments
Bottom Line Tips Response/effectiveness Interactions 1
Famotidine was found to be a potential candidate that may inhibit 3chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro), a viral enzyme necessary for SARS-CoV-2 viral
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a technique that delivers oxygen and air to the lungs without using a tube or a mask
Covariates were demographics, chronic diseases, and A total of 142 (8
Bottom line: Patients on mechanical ventilation, with ARDS, ALI, septic shock, coagulopathy, high dose steroids, or critically ill with high PRISM score should probably be placed on stress ulcer prophylaxis, using H2 receptor antagonists (ie famotidine) as a first line with the addition of PPI's if gastric pH <4 or if there are The present study compares the efficacy of continuous infusions of famotidine on gastric pH control and bleeding prevention in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation
Famotidine was administered at 20 mg/day or 40 mg/day, and resulted in an inpatient fatality rate of 14
Famotidine can be obtained through a prescription or bought over-the-counter (OTC)

Comparison of the efficacy of esomeprazole and famotidine against stress ulcers in a neurosurgical intensive care unit
In the matched cohort with 572 patients with COVID-19 (no H 2-blocker versus current famotidine use), there was no significant correlation between current famotidine use and composite outcomes of administration of high oxygen therapy, admission to intensive care unit, administration of mechanical ventilation, or death (crude OR: 1
In mechanical ventilation, the pressure gradient results from increased (positive) pressure of the air source
