Overview
Famotack 40 mg/5 ml Oral Suspension contains Famotidine, an H2-receptor antagonist manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. The suspension formulation provides the same therapeutic benefits as famotidine tablets in a liquid form suitable for patients who cannot swallow tablets — including children and those with swallowing difficulties. Used for peptic ulcer disease, GORD, and acid-related GI conditions.
Dosage and Administration
Children: dose based on weight (typically 0.5–1 mg/kg/day in 1–2 divided doses; max 40 mg/day). Adults who cannot swallow tablets: 40 mg (5 ml) at bedtime or as prescribed. Shake well before use.
Interaction
Same interactions as tablets: reduces absorption of acid-dependent drugs (ketoconazole, itraconazole, atazanavir). Minimal CYP450 interactions.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to famotidine.
Side Effects
Same as tablets: headache, diarrhoea, constipation. Confusion in elderly or patients with renal impairment.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding at therapeutic doses.
Precautions and Warnings
Shake well before measuring each dose. Adjust dose in renal impairment. Do not take antacids simultaneously.
Storage Conditions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Shake well before use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is famotidine suspension useful for children?
Children often cannot swallow tablets, and the suspension allows accurate weight-based dosing using a measuring device; the liquid is also more easily swallowed by very young children and those with oropharyngeal dysphagia.
How should famotidine suspension be stored after opening?
Store below 25°C; the suspension should be used within the shelf-life shown on the label and shaken well before every dose; do not refrigerate unless specifically stated on the product label.
