Axidin Tablet 40 mg contains Famotidine 40 mg, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.

Famotidine works by blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining, which reduces the production of gastric acid. This action helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and epigastric pain, promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and prevents recurrence of acid-related disorders. Axidin 40 mg provides a convenient once or twice daily oral dose with a rapid onset of action, making it effective for both acute and chronic conditions.

Composition

• Famotidine 40 mg

Mechanism of Action

Famotidine is a selective H2 receptor antagonist that works by:

• Blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining

• Inhibiting gastric acid secretion, both basal and stimulated

• Increasing gastric pH, which reduces acidity and allows ulcers and erosions to heal

• Providing long-lasting acid suppression, especially at nighttime, reducing acid-related symptoms

By decreasing stomach acid, Axidin 40 mg helps prevent damage to the gastric and duodenal mucosa and supports symptom relief in acid-related disorders.

• Relief of heartburn, acid reflux, and other symptoms of hyperacidity

Benefits

• Effective Acid Control: Reduces stomach acid and promotes healing of ulcers

• Rapid Symptom Relief: Helps relieve heartburn, regurgitation, and epigastric discomfort
