Famotid Tablet 40 mg contains Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is widely used for the treatment and prevention of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. By decreasing gastric acid secretion, Famotid helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid indigestion, stomach pain, and irritation caused by excess acid.

Famotidine works by blocking H2 receptors located on the cells of the stomach lining. These receptors are responsible for stimulating acid production. When blocked, acid secretion is significantly reduced, allowing ulcers and inflamed tissues to heal more effectively and preventing further damage to the stomach and esophagus.
