  1. Reduced Stomach Acid: Famotidine blocks the action of histamine on the stomach cells, which decreases the production of stomach acid. This reduction in acid secretion helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, and GERD.

  2. Treatment of Peptic Ulcers: Famotidine is effective in treating and preventing peptic ulcers, including gastric ulcers (in the stomach) and duodenal ulcers (in the upper part of the small intestine). By reducing stomach acid, famotidine allows ulcers to heal and prevents their recurrence.

  3. Symptom Relief: Famotidine provides relief from symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing associated with conditions like GERD and esophagitis.

  4. Prevention of Ulcer Complications: By reducing stomach acid production, famotidine helps prevent complications of peptic ulcers, such as bleeding, perforation, and obstruction of the digestive tract.

  5. Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Famotidine is used to manage Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition characterized by excessive acid production in the stomach due to tumors in the pancreas or duodenum. It helps control acid hypersecretion and associated symptoms.

  6. Management of Acid-related Disorders: Famotidine is also used in combination with other medications to treat acid-related disorders such as gastritis, erosive esophagitis, and stress ulcer prophylaxis in hospitalized patients.

  7. Over-the-Counter Use: Famotidine is available over-the-counter (OTC) in lower doses for the treatment of occasional heartburn and acid indigestion. It provides short-term relief from mild symptoms.

  8. Well-Tolerated: Famotidine is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects being mild and transient. These may include headache, dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue.

  9. Interactions: Famotidine may interact with certain medications, including antacids, sucralfate, and certain antibiotics. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before taking famotidine if you are on other medications.

  10. Long-term Use: Long-term use of famotidine, particularly at high doses, may increase the risk of certain adverse effects, such as vitamin B12 deficiency, magnesium deficiency, and rebound acid hypersecretion upon discontinuation.

  11. Safety in Pregnancy and Lactation: Famotidine is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when prescribed at appropriate doses. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before taking famotidine.

Impacted of famotidine,(prescription) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by famotidine,(prescription)

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of famotidine,(prescription) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
