Recid 40 mg Tablet

Recid 40 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 40 mg of famotidine in each tablet. Famotidine is an H2 blocker, a type of medicine used to lower stomach acid. Recid 40 mg Tablet is used to treat and help prevent acid-related conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach or duodenal ulcers.

How it works: Famotidine blocks histamine H2 receptors in the stomach, which tells the stomach to make less acid. With less acid, the Recid 40 mg Tablet can help relieve burning, protect irritated tissue, and support healing of acid-related damage.

Recid 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength famotidine tablet, so it is typically chosen when a doctor wants stronger acid control than lower strengths can provide. Because it comes as a standard swallowable tablet, it may be used for people who need a more direct, once-daily or twice-daily prescription-strength option rather than an over-the-counter-style lower dose.

• Heartburn
• GERD/acid reflux
• Stomach ulcer

• Swallow Recid 40 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different directions.
• Take it exactly at the time your prescriber recommends, which may be once daily or twice daily depending on why it was prescribed.

• If you take it for heartburn symptoms, follow your doctor’s timing instructions carefully so the acid control matches your needs.

Each Recid 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of famotidine, which is a prescription-strength dose. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once a day or divided into two doses per day, but the exact schedule is determined by the doctor. Do not take more than prescribed; the maximum daily amount depends on the medical reason for use and your kidney function.

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