-
Gastric ulcer
-
Duodenal ulcer

Anastomotic ulcer
-
Acute stress ulcer

Reflux esophagitis
-
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
It is also used in the treatment of acute gastritis and chronic gastritis during its acute exacerbation stage.
Pharmacology:
Famogen contains famotidine, a histamine H₂-receptor antagonist. It works by completely inhibiting the action of histamine on H₂-receptors of parietal cells in the stomach, thereby reducing basal, nocturnal, and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion. The H₂-receptor antagonist activity of famotidine is slowly reversible, as the drug dissociates slowly from the H₂-receptor.
