Famocid 40 Tablet is primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach, causing heartburn and other discomforts. This medicine falls under the classification of histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs).
Apart from managing GERD, this medicine also proves beneficial in controlling conditions such as peptic ulcer disease and heartburn and in preventing NSAID-induced ulcers. These conditions are all associated with excessive stomach acid production.
