Summary of Famotidine Research
The selected articles provide a comprehensive overview of Famotidine, covering its mechanism of action, classification, indications, and side effects. Here's a summary of the key findings:
Mechanism of Action: Famotidine works by competitively inhibiting histamine H2 receptors in the stomach, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. (Gossain et al., 2012; Vakil et al., 2006)
- Classification:Famotidine belongs to a class of drugs known as histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2 blockers). (Vakil et al., 2006)
- Indications:Famotidine is primarily used to treat and prevent peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a condition that causes excessive stomach acid production. (Yuan Yumei et al., 2013; Vakil et al., 2006)
- Side Effects:The most common side effects of Famotidine are headache, diarrhea, constipation, and dizziness. Serious side effects are rare but can include pneumonia and seizures. (Hasford et al., 2011; Wong et al., 2011)
These articles provide valuable information for understanding the therapeutic role and potential risks associated with Famotidine use.
Please note: This is just a starting point for your research. You can find additional scholarly articles through online databases like PubMed and Google Scholar. Remember to critically evaluate the sources you find and ensure they are credible and current.
