WHAT FAMOTIDINE CLONMEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Famotidine Clonmel works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat certain conditions caused by too much acid produced in the stomach. It is a gastrointestinal medicine that belongs to a group of medicine called Histamine H 2 -receptor antagonists. Famotidine Clonmel is used for: treatment of • symptoms of reflux disease (mild reflux oesophagitis), such as heartburn (Famotidine Clonmel 20 mg) • mild to moderate inflammation of the oesophagus (food pipe) (Famotidine Clonmel 40 mg) • benign gastric ulcer • duodenal ulcer • prevention of recurrent duodenal ulcers (only with Famotidine Clonmel 20 mg) • treatment of Zollinger-Ellison-Syndrome.

Health Products Regulatory Authority 04 October 2023 CRN00DRJK Page 1 of 7 SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Famotidine Clonmel 20 mg film-coated tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One film-coated tablet contains 20 mg of famotidine. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Film-coated tablet. Round, biconvex, white film-coated tablets, engraved "20" on one side. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Prevention of recurrent duodenal ulcers Duodenal ulcer Benign gastric ulcer Zollinger-Ellison-Syndrome Symptomatic treatment of mild reflux oesophagitis 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Posology _Duodenal ulcers and benign gastric ulcers_ 40 mg of famotidine once before going to sleep _Prophylactic treatment for recurrent duodenal ulcers_ 20 mg of famotidine in the evening _Zollinger-Ellison syndrome_ Providing there has not been previous therapy with antisecretory medications, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome therapy should start by administering 20 mg of famotidine (corresponding to one film-coated tablet of Famotidine Clonmel ® 20 mg) every 6 hours. Depending on the acid secretion and the patient's clinical response, a dosage titration should be performed as treatment continues until the desired acid levels have been reached (e.g. < 10 mEq/h in the hour preceding the next dose of famotidine). If the desired inhibition of acid secretion cannot be attained with a daily dosage of 800 mg, alternative treatment should be considered to regulate acid secretion, since no long-term experience with dosages of more than 800 mg of famotidine/day have been recorded. Treatment should be continued for as long as clinically necessary. Patients who have previously undergone H2 receptor antagonist treatment can begin famotidine treatment at a higher dosage than the initial dosage that is usually recommended. The dosage depends on the severity of the disease and the dosage of previous medications. _Symptomatic treating Læs hele dokumentet
