Famotidine is a histamine H₂-receptor antagonist used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By blocking H₂ receptors in the stomach lining, famotidine decreases acid secretion, providing relief from heartburn and promoting ulcer healing. It is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms, often under brand names like Pepcid. Famotidine is generally well tolerated and works within an hour of ingestion.
Famotidine works by blocking histamine H₂ receptors in the stomach lining. These receptors normally stimulate the production of gastric acid when activated by histamine. By inhibiting them, famotidine reduces the secretion of stomach acid, helping to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and allowing ulcers to heal.
