What is Famotidine?
Active Ingredients: Famotidine
Famotidine Tablets are a drug used to treat conditions that are caused by excess acid in the stomach, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis. This medication is effective at preventing and reducing symptoms, such as stomach pain, heartburn, persistent cough, and trouble sleeping.
Famotidine may be used to treat and prevent stomach ulcers (gastric and duodenal) and other stomach-acid-related damage.
