Description
Famotidine Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of established acid-suppressant therapies. We provide high-purity Famotidine Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “High-Potency” H2 Antagonist is a top export to pharmacy chains, gastroenterology clinics, and government health tenders in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, recognized as the safer, more potent alternative to Cimetidine for the management of peptic ulcers and nocturnal acid breakthrough.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist.
The “Nocturnal Acid” Specialist:
- Mechanism: Famotidine works by competitively blocking the action of histamine on the H2-receptors of the parietal cells in the stomach. This inhibition suppresses the secretion of gastric acid.
- Night-Time Dominance: While Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are superior for meal-stimulated acid, Famotidine is exceptionally effective at suppressing nocturnal basal acid secretion. It is often prescribed at bedtime to prevent “acid breakthrough” during sleep.
- Superior Safety: Unlike the older drug Cimetidine, Famotidine does not inhibit the Cytochrome P450 enzyme system. This means it has practically zero drug-drug interactions (safe with Warfarin, Phenytoin, etc.) and does not cause anti-androgenic side effects like gynecomastia or impotence.
- Rapid Onset: Provides relief within 60 minutes, faster than most PPIs.

- Polymorph Stability: Famotidine exists in two crystal forms (Form A and Form B). Form B is thermodynamically more stable. We strictly control the API sourcing to ensure the high-stability Form B is used, ensuring consistent dissolution and shelf-life.
- Dissolution Profile: Our formulation is engineered to release >85% of the drug within 30 minutes in acidic media, ensuring rapid onset of action for acute heartburn relief.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for short-term treatment and maintenance of:
- Duodenal Ulcer: Healing of active ulcers and prevention of recurrence.
- Benign Gastric Ulcer: Short-term treatment.
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Relief of heartburn symptoms.
- Pathological Hypersecretory Conditions: Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (often requires higher doses).
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):
- Route: Oral.
- Duodenal Ulcer (Acute): 40 mg once daily at bedtime OR 20 mg twice daily. Treatment duration: 4–8 weeks.
- Duodenal Ulcer (Maintenance): 20 mg once daily at bedtime.
- Benign Gastric Ulcer: 40 mg once daily at bedtime.
- GERD: 20 mg twice daily for up to 6 weeks.
- Renal Impairment (Critical): In patients with creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min, the dose must be reduced to 20 mg daily or the interval prolonged to 36–48 hours to avoid CNS toxicity.
Safety Warnings:
- Renal Dose Adjustment: Famotidine is excreted largely unchanged by the kidneys. Accumulation in renal failure can cause confusion, delirium, and seizures.
- CNS Effects: Elderly patients are more susceptible to confusion and dizziness.
- Malignancy Masking: Symptomatic response to therapy does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. Warning signs (weight loss, dysphagia) should be investigated.
