Facid 20 Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. Its active ingredient is Famotidine, a potent histamine H2-receptor antagonist. Famotidine works by blocking the action of histamine on the parietal cells in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the amount of acid secreted. This makes it effective in managing conditions such as peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By decreasing stomach acidity, Facid 20 Tablet helps to alleviate symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, and pain associated with these conditions, and promotes healing of damaged esophageal or stomach lining.
