famotidine and Heartburn

famotidine has been researched along with Heartburn in 22 studies

Famotidine: A competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist. Its main pharmacodynamic effect is the inhibition of gastric secretion.

Heartburn: Substernal pain or burning sensation, usually associated with regurgitation of gastric juice into the esophagus.
