Product Information

• Name: Famotidine d4
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Famotidine is a drug that belongs to the group of H2-receptor antagonists. It is a prodrug that is activated by hydrolysis in vivo and inhibits the gastric acid secretion by blocking the histamine-H2 receptor on parietal cells. Famotidine has been shown to reduce inflammation in squamous cell carcinoma and other tissues. It also reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Famotidine binds to P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and prevents it from transporting drugs out of cells. This action inhibits the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, which are substrates for Pgp. Additionally, famotidine may inhibit the action of toll-like receptors which are implicated in inflammation.
