Medicinal Benefits:

Famodil 40mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called H2 receptor antagonists. Histamine binds to the H2 receptors present in parietal cells of the stomach and stimulates the production of acid. Famodil 40mg Tablet bind to these receptors and blocks the histamine action. It also decreases the gastric secretion content. It also reduces the gastric secretion stimulated by food, caffeine, insulin, and pentagastrin. Caffeine, insulin (used in the treatment of diabetes), and pentagastrin (a synthetic drug that aid in diagnosing thyroid malignancy) stimulate gastric acid secretion.
