Hi! I am on Ranitidine and my doctor just called earlier that yes there is a recall so they are switching me to famotidine until its clear.

I take Ranitidine, but just once in a while. (3 and a half yrs transplant) I am going to call my doctor to switch me to Famotidine. I bought Pepcid Ac yesterday (10 mgs) over the counter. Transplant team said I can take 20mgs. Wanted to try low dose. I had indigestion yesterday, and it didn't work that well. The Pharmacist said 20 would work better, which I already knew that. I just wanted to do low dose. It is cheaper to get the Famotidine prescription, than over the counter. Maybe you can ask your doctor for that, like Trouper said.
