ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Famotidine is a competitive inhibitor of histamine H
2
-receptors. The primary clinically
important pharmacologic activity of famotidine is inhibition of
gastric juice secretion.
Famotidine reduces the acid and pepsin content, as well as the volume
of basal,
nocturnal, and stimulated gastric secretion.
COMPARATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY STUDIES
A comparative bioavailability study was performed under fasting
conditions using
healthy human volunteers. The rate and extent of absorption of
famotidine after a single
oral 40 mg dose of IVAX famotidine 40 mg tablets or Pepcid® 40 mg
tablets was
measured and compared. A summary of the pharmacokinetic parameters is
given in the
