Famotid Suspension 40 mg/5 ml contains Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that reduces excess stomach acid production. This oral suspension is specially formulated for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including children and elderly individuals. It provides effective relief from acid-related gastrointestinal conditions by controlling gastric acid secretion and promoting healing of the stomach lining.

Famotidine works by blocking histamine H2 receptors located on the gastric parietal cells in the stomach. These receptors stimulate acid production. By inhibiting their action, Famotid Suspension decreases both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. As a result, it relieves symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, upper abdominal pain, and irritation caused by hyperacidity.

The liquid formulation ensures accurate dose adjustment and easy administration, making it particularly suitable for pediatric use under medical supervision.
