Ingredients:

Mechanism of Action:
Famotidine, a histamine-2 blocker, reduces the production of stomach acid by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach, leading to decreased acid secretion.
Pharmacological Properties:
Famotidine exerts its effects by competitively inhibiting histamine at the H2 receptors of the gastric parietal cells, resulting in reduced basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
