Famocid 40 mg reduces gastric acid secretion and treats gastrointestinal conditions associated with too much acid production. It contains the active ingredient Famotidine, which receives approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for treating gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) in adults and children. It also treats and prevents GERD symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion.
Famocid 40 mg is contraindicated in individuals with a history of serious allergic reactions to Famotidine.
The gastrointestinal tablet may not be suitable for everyone who uses it. So, tell your healthcare provider if you think any of the following applies to you:
- Do not take Famocid if you are pregnant, intend to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
- Avoid taking Famotidine if you have confirmed renal or hepatic insufficiency.
- Your healthcare specialist should also be aware of all the medications that you are using.
Famotidine should not be used with dasatinib, neratinib, cefuroxime, pazopanib, delavirdine, and risedronate. It should also be avoided to use Famocid concurrently with tizanidine. In case co-administration is essential, it is important to monitor patients closely for signs of hypertension, excessive drowsiness, and bradycardia.
The most commonly reported side effects of Famocid 40 mg tablets include dizziness, diarrhea, agitation, constipation, headache, and diarrhea. To minimize the side effects on the central nervous system, dose adjustment must be done under a healthcare provider's supervision. These side effects are temporary and generally don't cause any harm. They resolve on their own after discontinuing the use of the Famocid tablet. However, if you experience serious adverse effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider. An increased risk of pneumonia and acute gastroenteritis has been associated with the use of Famocid in children.
Famocid 40 mg should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Famocid tablets, also sold as Pepcid, must be swallowed whole with water before or after food. The gastrointestinal tablet must be taken in the dose and duration your healthcare provider advises. If the symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of receiving Famocid treatment, contact your healthcare provider. Famotidine relieves indigestion and heartburn within a few hours. Patients should not take the medicine with severe stomach disorder. You can increase the effectiveness of Famotidine by eating smaller meals more often and avoiding oily and spicy foods. Take this gastrointestinal medicine for the complete duration of treatment, even if your condition improves before the completion of treatment. Ensure you follow all the dietary measures provided by your healthcare provider because certain food items can irritate your stomach and increase the risk of worsening the condition.
