Famtac 20 MG Tablet 14 contains famotidine (20 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Histamine H2 receptor antagonist: Famotidine works by blocking the action of histamine at specific sites known as H2 receptors present in your stomach. Histamine is a substance that promotes acid production, so when famotidine blocks its action, it reduces acid production.

• Acid reduction: With lower levels of histamine activity due to famotidine's action, there is a consequent decrease in the production and secretion of stomach acid. This helps provide relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.

• Ulcer healing: By reducing stomach acid levels, famotidine not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes healing of peptic ulcers and helps prevent them from recurring.

• Store Famtac 20 MG Tablet 14 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Ensure the product is not exposed to moisture.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Always remember to check the expiry date before use of Famtac 20 MG Tablet 14.

• If you experience heartburn or acid indigestion, try reducing your intake of spicy and fatty foods which can trigger these symptoms.

• For managing conditions like GERD or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, consider consuming smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large ones, as this could help alleviate excessive stomach acid production.
