Medicine Description famo-plus 10mg
Famo-Plus 10 mg 20 tablets is a medication that combines calcium carbonate, famotidine, and magnesium hydroxide to provide relief from various gastrointestinal discomforts. Calcium carbonate acts as an antacid, neutralizing stomach acid quickly, thereby alleviating symptoms of heartburn. Famotidine is an H2 receptor antagonist that decreases gastric acid secretion by blocking the action of histamine on the stomach's parietal cells. This reduction in acid production helps prevent and alleviate symptoms associated with acid reflux and esophagitis. Magnesium hydroxide complements the action of calcium carbonate by also serving as an antacid, further aiding in the neutralization of stomach acid. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to relieve discomfort from acid-related disorders.
