Famtac 40 mg Tablet

Famtac 40 mg Tablet is an acid-reducing medicine that contains famotidine 40 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the histamine-2 (H2) blocker class and is used to lower stomach acid. Famtac 40 mg Tablet may be prescribed for conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers when a stronger prescription strength is appropriate. This pack contains 4 tablets made by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

How it works: Famotidine in Famtac 40 mg Tablet blocks histamine-2 receptors in the stomach, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. By reducing acid production, this tablet can help relieve burning, irritation, and discomfort caused by excess stomach acid.

Famtac 40 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this brand line, so it is generally chosen for adults who need stronger acid control than lower-dose options. Because each tablet contains 40 mg of famotidine, a doctor may select this strength for more severe symptoms, nighttime acid control, or treatment plans that need less frequent dosing.

• Heartburn
• Acid reflux/GERD
• Stomach or duodenal ulcers
• Erosive esophagitis symptom relief
• Conditions needing reduced stomach acid

• Swallow Famtac 40 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the time prescribed; some patients take it once daily and others take it twice daily.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• If it is used for heartburn prevention, follow your doctor’s timing instructions carefully rather than taking it only after symptoms start.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for missed doses unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Because this is a 40 mg tablet, do not change to a different strength or split the tablet without medical advice.

Each Famtac 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of famotidine per tablet. How often it is taken depends on the condition being treated; some people take it once daily, while others may need it twice daily, but the exact schedule is decided by the doctor. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose prescribed for you, since the right dose depends on your age, kidney function, and reason for treatment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
