Famopsin

Famopsin contains Famotidine, a medicine that belongs to the class of H2 receptor antagonists. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Famopsin is widely used for the relief and management of acid-related stomach conditions such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and heartburn. By controlling stomach acid, it helps in healing the stomach lining and prevents complications caused by excess acid production.

Uses

Famopsin may be prescribed for:

• Treatment of stomach (gastric) ulcers

• Treatment of duodenal ulcers

• Management of GERD (acid reflux disease)

• Relief from heartburn and indigestion

• Prevention of acid-related damage in patients on long-term NSAID therapy

• Prevention of recurrence of ulcers after healing

How to Use

• Can be taken with or without meals.

• Oral suspension should be shaken well for 5–10 seconds before use.

• If using chewable tablets, chew thoroughly before swallowing.

• If an antacid is also required, take it 30–60 minutes after Famopsin.

• Dosage is based on condition, age, and medical advice.

• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

• Headache or dizziness

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort

• Rash or skin irritation (rare)

• Fatigue or muscle pain (uncommon)

• Serious but rare: irregular heartbeat, confusion, or black tarry stools

Precautions and Warnings

• Avoid alcohol and smoking, as these may worsen acid reflux symptoms.

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney disease, liver disease, or heart rhythm problems.

• Do not use for longer than prescribed without medical supervision.

• Notify your prescriber if symptoms persist, worsen, or return after completing therapy.

• Safe use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Doctor’s Review

“Famotidine is a safe and effective option for reducing stomach acid and treating common conditions like GERD, ulcers, and persistent heartburn. Many patients experience relief within hours of starting treatment. Famopsin is particularly useful for patients who cannot tolerate stronger acid-reducing drugs or need short- to medium-term therapy. While it is generally well-tolerated, monitoring is important in long-term users, especially those with kidney or liver problems.”
