Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10

Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10 is used to treat stomach ulcers, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It works by reducing excess stomach acid production, preventing irritation and discomfort, and is often prescribed for the long-term management of acidity-related digestive disorders.

Here's how you should take Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or break it.
• To prevent heartburn symptoms, take one tablet 10 to 60 minutes before eating food or drinking beverages that may cause heartburn.
• Do not exceed two tablets within 24 hours unless instructed by your doctor.

Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10 contains famotidine (20 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Histamine H2 receptor antagonist: Famotidine works by blocking the action of histamine at specific sites known as H2 receptors present in your stomach. Histamine is a substance that promotes acid production, so when famotidine blocks its action, it reduces acid production.
• Acid reduction: With lower levels of histamine activity due to famotidine's action, there is a consequent decrease in the production and secretion of stomach acid. This helps provide relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.
• Ulcer healing: By reducing stomach acid levels, famotidine not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes healing of peptic ulcers and helps prevent them from recurring.

• Store Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure the product is not exposed to moisture.
• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.
• Always remember to check the expiry date before use of Avifam 20 MG Tablet 10.

• If you experience heartburn or acid indigestion, try reducing your intake of spicy and fatty foods which can trigger these symptoms.
• For managing conditions like GERD or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, consider consuming smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large ones, as this could help alleviate excessive stomach acid production.
