Famotidine is a histamine H₂-receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production. It is widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and conditions involving excessive stomach acid production, like Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. It works by blocking the action of histamine on the stomach lining, thereby reducing acid secretion.
