Famotidine blocks the action of histamine on stomach cells, and
reduces stomach acid production.
Famotidine is useful in promoting the healing of stomach and
duodenal ulcers, and in reducing ulcer
pain. Famotidine has been effective in preventing ulcer recurrence
when given in low doses for
prolonged periods of time. In doses higher than that used in ulcer
treatment, famotidine has been
helpful in treating heart burn and in healing ulcer and inflammation
of the esophagus resulting from
acid reflux (reflux esophagitis). |

appetite. Metoclopramide is also used, for a short time, to treat
symptoms such as heartburn in
patients who suffer esophageal injury from a backward flow of
gastric acid into the esophagus.

the intestines. Rapid emptying of
meals also help decrease the reflux of stomach acid and other
contents into the esophagus. |
