About Famocid 40 Tablet

Famocid 40 Tablet is an antacid and anti-ulcer medicine that helps control excessive acid production in the stomach. It is used to treat and prevent heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), indigestion, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It provides long-lasting relief from acidity and helps protect the stomach lining from acid-related damage.

Medicinal Benefits

• Reduces Stomach Acid: Lowers acid production, easing symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux.
• Heals and Prevents Ulcers: Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and prevents recurrence.
• Relieves Indigestion and Discomfort: Helps improve digestion and prevents acid irritation in the food pipe.
• Prevents NSAID-Induced Ulcers: Protects against ulcers caused by painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs.

How Famocid 40 Tablet Works
Famocid 40 Tablet contains Famotidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist (H2 blocker). It works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, which are responsible for signaling the stomach to produce acid. By suppressing acid secretion, it helps relieve burning sensations, indigestion, and promotes healing of acid-related damage.
