Pepcid Information:
Buy Pepcid
Pepcid (Famotidine) is used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid, including heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer diseases such as benign stomach ulcers/duodenal ulcers, and gastric acid hypersecretory conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. It is also used to prevent the recurrence of peptic ulcer disease. The active ingredient in Pepcid is Famotidine, which belongs to the class of drugs known as H2 (histamine-2) receptor antagonists. Famotidine works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach. Histamine is a chemical that triggers the production of stomach acid. By inhibiting these receptors, Famotidine reduces the amount of acid produced, providing relief from acid-related symptoms and promoting healing in conditions like ulcers.
