FANID 20 TAB is a potent and selective H2-receptor antagonist that contains Famotidine 20 mg, designed to treat a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders associated with excessive gastric acid secretion. Famotidine inhibits histamine action at the H2-receptors of the gastric parietal cells, thereby decreasing the volume and concentration of stomach acid produced.

This medicine is widely prescribed for peptic ulcers, erosive esophagitis, GERD, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. It provides both symptomatic relief and clinical healing of acid-related damage in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Unlike proton pump inhibitors, Famotidine offers faster onset of action and is commonly used for immediate acid suppression.

FANID 20 TAB is manufactured by BluepillExpress, a globally trusted name in pharmaceutical contract manufacturing, known for precision, compliance, and international supply chain capabilities. The product is offered in WHO-GMP and ISO-certified facilities with options for regulatory support for global markets.

Therapeutic Uses

Short-term treatment of active duodenal and gastric ulcers

Management and maintenance of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Treatment of heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux

Control of pathological hypersecretory conditions like Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Prevention of stress ulcers in hospitalized patients

Adjunct in the Helicobacter pylori eradication regimen (as part of combination therapy)

Mechanism of Action

Famotidine selectively blocks histamine H2-receptors on the gastric parietal cells, which significantly inhibits both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. It reduces both the volume and acidity of gastric output, leading to ulcer healing and symptom relief.

Its onset of action typically begins within 1 hour, with peak effect occurring within 1–3 hours after administration. The acid-suppressing effect lasts up to 12 hours, making it suitable for twice-daily or once-daily dosing based on severity.
