Description
Famotidine Injection, 10 mg/mL, is a sterile, single-dose vial formulation of a histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist. It is primarily used to reduce gastric acid secretion and treat conditions associated with excess acid production. Each vial contains 10 mg of famotidine in 1 mL of solution, with the packaging containing 25 single-dose vials of 2 mL each, providing convenience and ease of administration in clinical settings.
Famotidine works by selectively blocking the H2 receptors in the parietal cells of the stomach, which inhibits gastric acid secretion. This results in a decrease in the volume and concentration of gastric acid, making it effective in treating peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
This injection is intended for intravenous or intramuscular use, typically administered in a hospital or clinical setting under the supervision of healthcare professionals. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to famotidine or other H2 antagonists.
