About Famocid 20 Tablet

Famocid 20 Tablet is an antacid and anti-ulcer medicine used to relieve symptoms caused by excessive acid production in the stomach. It effectively treats and prevents heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), indigestion, and peptic ulcer disease. The medicine helps restore comfort by reducing the acid in the stomach and promoting healing of ulcers and inflammation in the food pipe.

Medicinal Benefits

• Controls Excess Stomach Acid: Reduces acid secretion, providing quick relief from acidity, heartburn, and indigestion.

How Famocid 20 Tablet Works
Famocid 20 Tablet contains Famotidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist (H2 blocker). It works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, which are responsible for triggering acid secretion. By suppressing acid production, it helps relieve symptoms of heartburn, reflux, and stomach discomfort while allowing the digestive tract to heal naturally.
