Famodin Suspension 40 mg/5 ml contains Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist widely used to reduce gastric acid secretion. This oral suspension is specially formulated for patients who require precise dosing or have difficulty swallowing tablets, making it particularly suitable for pediatric and geriatric use. It provides effective relief from acid-related gastrointestinal disorders and helps promote healing of acid-induced damage to the stomach and esophagus.

Composition

• Active ingredient: Famotidine 40 mg per 5 ml

Pharmacological Action

Famotidine works by selectively blocking histamine H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells. This action significantly reduces both basal and stimulated secretion of gastric acid, leading to decreased acidity in the stomach. By lowering acid production, Famodin Suspension helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, epigastric pain, and acid reflux, while also supporting the healing of ulcers.

• Peptic ulcer disease, including gastric and duodenal ulcers
