    Oral tablets; Rapid disintergrating tablets; Suspension; Injectable solution

    Gastridan Indication

    For the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Gastridan Pharmacology

    Famotidine, a competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist, is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric or duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and pathological hypersecretory conditions. Famotidine inhibits many of the isoenzymes of the hepatic CYP450 enzyme system. Other actions of Famotidine include an increase in gastric bacterial flora such as nitrate-reducing organisms.

    Gastridan Absorption

    The bioavailability of oral doses is 40-45%.

    Gastridan Toxicity

    Intravenous, mouse: LD50 = 244.4mg/kg; Oral, mouse: LD50 = 4686 mg/kg. Symptoms of overdose include emesis, restlessness, pallor of mucous membranes or redness of mouth and ears, hypotension, tachycardia and collapse.

    Gastridan Patient Information

    Famotidine is used to treat stomach and duodenal (upper small intestine) ulcers;
    hypersecretory (increased acid secretion) conditions; heartburn and gastroesophageal
    reflux disease (stomach contents bubbling into the esophagus causing pain). Notify your
    physician if you are pregnant or nursing. Famotidine may be taken with or without food.
    Shake the oral suspension vigorously for 5-10 seconds before taking. Unused oral
    suspension should be discarded after 30 days. Notify your physician if you develop black,
