Famotidine Indication
For the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Famotidine 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.
Famotidine Absorption
The bioavailability of oral doses is 40-45%.
Famotidine side effects and Toxicity

Famotidine Patient Information
