Фамотидин

Описание

Famotidine is a competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist, and the main pharmacodynamic effect of famotidine is to cause the inhibition of gastric secretion. Famotidine on decomposition releases toxic products such as carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), and sulphur oxides (SO2, SO3). Famotidine is a medication that is available both in prescription and over-the-counter forms. It is used to treat conditions related to the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines. Some specific famotidine is used for the treatment of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers (stomach ulcers), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and pathological hypersecretory conditions that occur when stomach acid is secreted/ produced in very large quantities, an abnormal health condition called ‘Zollinger-Ellison syndrome’.

Использование

Contact dermatitis from famotidine, a H2 -receptor agonist, was described in a nurse. In industry, three cases were reported due to intermediates of synthesis, 2- diamino-ethylene-amino-thiazolyl-methylenethiourea-dichloride and 4-chloromethyl-2-guanidinothiazolenitrochloride.

Общее описание

Famotidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist, which promotes the healing of erosive esophagitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers since it inhibits the gastric acid secretion in humans.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

Contact dermatitis in a nurse from famotidine, an H2-receptor agonist, was described. In industry, three cases were reported due to intermediates of the synthesis of 2-diamino-ethylene-amino-thiazolyl-methylenethio urea-dichloride, and 4-chloromethyl-2-guanidinothiaz ole-nitrochloride.

Клиническое использование

Famotidine is a histamine H2-antagonist more potent than cimetidine and ranitidine. Administered once or twice daily, it is useful in the treatment of gastric, duodenal and anastomotic ulcers, upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage, reflux esophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Like ranitidine, it is lacking in antiandrogenic effects.
