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.
