I am questioning s/l furmodadine? >>

Per QLDBE 2001, it's famotidine, which is the generic of Pepcid. Hope this

helps

Jan, her answer could also be felodipine, don't you think? Most dialysis

patients need some sort of antihypertensive and usually they are either an

Ace inhibitor or a calcium channel blocker. >>

Anything is possible I suppose, but my response matched the sound alike.

famotidine matches " furmodadine " much better than felodipine. Not only that,

famotidine dosages match better than felodipine
