    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Famotidine Oral Suspension USP is used in dogs and cats to treat stomach, gastric, or intestinal ulcers. It can also help dogs with kidney failure recover from related gastric reflux and stomach inflammation. It is the generic alternative to Pepcid.

    Key Benefits:

  • Famotidine prevents and heals ulcers.
  • It is a histamine receptor 2 blocker, which means that it prevents gastric acid secretion by blocking these receptors.
  • Gastric acid secretes when there are H-2 receptors in stimulated stomach cells.
  • This causes ulcer healing as it prevents gastric acid secretion.

    Formulated For: For dogs and cats only.
