Composition

Pharmacological Action

Famotidine works by selectively blocking histamine H2 receptors located on gastric parietal cells. This action suppresses both basal and stimulated secretion of gastric acid, resulting in reduced acidity and volume of gastric secretions. The reduction in acid helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn and epigastric pain and supports healing in acid-peptic conditions.
