Meaning and history
Pepcid, which is based on Famotidine is an over-the-counter medication often prescribed for peptic ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and nausea associated with chemotherapy. The drug is safe and well-tolerated. And not so long ago, Canadian researchers discovered that Pepcid can also help with breast cancer.
Famotidine was first synthesized and patented by the Japanese company Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co. in 1979. The drug belongs to the class of drugs that block histamine type 2 receptors (H2-antagonists) and has unique properties.
Famotidine Darnica was first launched on the market under the trade name Pepcid in 1981 in the USA. Over time, other forms and dosages of the drug were developed. Now the drug is available in the form of tablets, capsules, and solutions for injection.
