How Does Famotidine Injection Work?

Famotidine is a histamine receptor-2 (H2) blocker. By targeting and blocking H2 receptors, it inhibits the stimulation of stomach cells responsible for producing gastric acid. This process reduces acidity in the stomach, creating an environment that promotes ulcer healing and minimizes irritation to the gastrointestinal lining.
