Famotidine (Pepcid) IV Add-On in NYC
Famotidine, known by the brand Pepcid, is the anti acid medication that quiets a burning stomach and acid reflux fast. The IV form works quicker than the pill, which matters when heartburn is making it hard to drink water or recover from a rough night. The add-on at Zen IV Spa is $35.

What Famotidine Does
Famotidine blocks histamine receptors in your stomach that tell it to make acid. Less acid means less burning, less reflux, and an easier time keeping food and water down. It is the same medication you can buy as Pepcid AC, just delivered through IV at a clinical dose.

Why IV Over the OTC Pill
The pill works, but it takes 30 to 60 minutes to settle in. The IV starts working in about 30 minutes too, but the dose lands at full strength in your bloodstream. When you are already nauseous and cannot keep anything down, swallowing a pill is not an option anyway. The IV solves both problems at once.

Drips That Include Famotidine
The Hangover IV ($299) and Nausea & Food Poisoning IV ($299) both carry famotidine standard. The Ultimate IV ($699) and Black Card ($999) include it on a clinical indication basis.
How Long Relief Lasts
A single 20 mg dose of famotidine usually gives relief for 10 to 12 hours. That is enough to get through a rough afternoon or sleep through a tough night.
Safety Screening
Famotidine is one of the safer prescription add-ons on our menu. Our medical team still reviews for kidney disease (which calls for a smaller dose) and certain rare medication interactions. Pregnant clients can usually get famotidine, but we confirm case by case.
Best Pairings
For hangover, the Hangover IV base does the heavy lifting. For a stomach bug, the Nausea & Food Poisoning IV pairs famotidine with anti nausea support. For acid reflux during a high stress week, combine with magnesium and the Hydration IV.
Common Questions
Is famotidine the same as Pepcid?
Yes. Pepcid is the brand name, famotidine is the generic chemical name.
Can I get it with my regular antacid medication?
Sometimes. Share your full medication list so our team can confirm timing and dose.
Will it interfere with other medications?
Famotidine can change how some medications are absorbed. Examples include certain HIV medications and some antifungal drugs. Our medical team checks every intake form.
How often can I add famotidine?
Once a week as needed is fine for most adults. Daily use over weeks should be discussed with your regular doctor.
Is famotidine the same as ranitidine (Zantac)?
Same family of medication, but ranitidine was pulled from the market in 2020. Famotidine has been a clean substitute since.
