Why is this medication prescribed?

Famotidine is in a class of drugs called histamine receptor antagonists, and works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces.

This medication is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. Furthermore, it is also administered to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid and for situations in which acid comes up into the esophagus and causes heartburn, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

It is commonly marketed by Merck under the trade names Pepcidine® and Pepcid®.
