Famocid 40 mg Tablet

Product Overview
Famocid 40 mg is a medication used to manage conditions caused by excessive stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment and prevention of stomach and intestinal ulcers, as well as for acid-related digestive disorders. By reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, this medicine helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and irritation of the digestive tract.

Active Ingredient
Famocid 40 mg contains Famotidine, a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as histamine-2 (H2) receptor blockers.

How It Works
Famotidine works by blocking histamine H2 receptors located in the stomach lining. These receptors stimulate the production of gastric acid. By inhibiting their activity, Famocid lowers stomach acid levels, which helps protect the stomach and intestinal lining and promotes healing of ulcers.
