Famodar 40mg Tablets 10s is a famotidine-based acid-reducing medicine that relieves heartburn, acid reflux and the discomfort of gastric and duodenal ulcers. As a long-acting histamine H2-receptor antagonist, each tablet lowers the amount of acid your stomach produces, offering UAE users dependable relief from burning, indigestion and the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

How It Works

Famotidine competitively blocks histamine at the H2-receptors in the stomach lining, reducing basal, nocturnal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. With less acid and lower pepsin activity, the stomach and oesophagus are protected so irritated tissue can heal. The anti-secretory effect begins within about one hour and reaches its maximum within one to three hours.

Important Information

Use Famodar safely by keeping the following in mind:

• Tell your doctor before use if you have kidney or liver disease, a history of Long QT syndrome, asthma or other breathing problems, or any history of stomach cancer.

• Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, constipation or diarrhoea, which are usually mild.

• Heartburn can be confused with the early signs of a heart attack, so seek emergency care for chest pain spreading to the jaw, arm or shoulder, or with sweating and breathlessness.

• Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and if symptoms persist, worsen, or last longer than expected. Keep out of reach of children and store at room temperature.
