Pharmacological action

Famotidine has an antiulcer effect. Blocker of H2-histamine receptors of the III generation. Suppresses basal and stimulated by histamine, gastrin and acetylcholine production of hydrochloric acid. Reduces pepsin activity. Strengthens the protective mechanisms of the gastric mucosa, promotes the healing of damage associated with the action of hydrochloric acid (including scarring of stress ulcers) and the cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding by increasing the formation of gastric mucus, its glycoproteins, stimulating the secretion of bicarbonate by the gastric mucosa, endogenous prostaglandin synthesis in it and speed regeneration. Does not significantly change the level of gastrin in plasma. Weakly inhibits the oxidase system of cytochrome P450 in the liver.

After oral administration, the action begins after 1 hour, reaches a maximum within 3 hours. The duration of the drug with a single dose depends on the dose and ranges from 12 to 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, it is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, maximum plasma concentration is achieved within 1-3.5 hours. Bioavailability - 40-45%, increases when taken with food and decreases with antacids. Communication with plasma proteins - 15-20%.

30-35% of famotidine is metabolized in the liver (with the formation of S-oxide). It penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid, through the placental barrier, excreted in breast milk.

Elimination mainly occurs through the kidneys: 27-40% of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine. The elimination half-life is 2.5-4 hours, in patients with creatinine clearance below 30 ml per minute, it increases to 10-12 hours. In patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance below 10 ml / min), the elimination half-life increases to 20 hours.
