Axidin Tablet 20 mg contains Famotidine 20 mg, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that helps reduce the production of stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and heartburn.

Famotidine works by blocking H2 receptors in the stomach lining, thereby decreasing gastric acid secretion. This reduction in acid helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach discomfort, promotes healing of ulcers, and prevents recurrence of acid-related disorders. Axidin 20 mg provides a convenient, safe, and effective oral dose suitable for adults and elderly patients with mild to moderate hyperacidity.
