Famotidine works by blocking histamine from attaching to H2-receptors in the stomach. This lowers the amount of stomach acid produced, both during the day and at night, as well as after eating. It also reduces the amount of pepsin, an enzyme that helps digest food, which leads to less peptic activity.

Reflux oesophagitis: 20-40 mg twice daily for 6-12 weeks.
