Description

How does Famotidine Work?

Famotidine works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It blocks the action of histamine, a substance that stimulates acid secretion in the stomach, thereby decreasing acid production and providing relief from symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux.
