How Does Famotidine Work?
Famotidine operates as an H2-receptor antagonist, targeting histamine H2-receptors on the cells in the stomach lining that produce acid. By blocking these receptors, famotidine significantly reduces the production of stomach acid. This reduction in acid not only alleviates symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, such as heartburn and indigestion, but also promotes the healing of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum by providing a less acidic environment. Its action contributes to the relief and management of conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers, making it a valuable tool in the treatment of these gastrointestinal disorders. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/11523/smpc#gref
