DRUG INTERACTIONS:
No drug interactions have been identified. Studies with famotidine in man, in animal models, and in vitro have shown no significant interference with the disposition of compounds metabolized by the hepatic microsomal enzymes, e.g., cytochrome P450 system. Compounds tested in man include warfarin, theophylline, phenytoin, diazepam, aminopyrine and antipyrine. Indocyanine green as an index of hepatic drug extraction has been tested and no significant effects have been found.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Duodenal Ulcer Acute Therapy: The recommended adult oral dosage for active duodenal ulcer is
40 mg once a day at bedtime. Most patients heal within 4 weeks; there is rarely reason to use Famodar® at full dosage for longer than 6 to 8 weeks. A regimen of 20 mg b.i.d. is also effective.
Maintenance Therapy: The recommended adult oral dose is 20 mg once a day at bedtime.
Benign Gastric Ulcer Acute Therapy: The recommended adult oral dosage for active benign gastric
ulcer is 40 mg once a day at bedtime. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
The recommended oral dosage for treatment of adult patients with symptoms of GERD is 20 mg b.i.d. for up to 6 weeks. The recommended oral dosage for treatment of adult patients with esophagitis including erosions and ulcerations and accompanying symptoms due to GERD is 20 or 40 mg b.i.d. for up to 12 weeks.
Pathological Hypersecertory Conditions (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, Multiple Endocrine Adenomas)
The recommended adult oral starting dose for pathological hypersecretory conditions is 20 mg q 6 h. In some patients, a higher starting dose may be required. Doses should be adjusted to individual patient needs and should continue as long as clinically indicated. Doses up to 160 mg q 6 h have been administered to some adult patients with severe Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Concomitant Use of Antacids Antacids may be given concomitantly if needed. Dosage Adjustment for Patients with Moderate or Severe Renal Insufficiency Since CNS adverse effects have been reported in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency, to avoid excess accumulation of the drug in patients with moderate or severe renal insufficiency, the dose of Famodar® may be reduced to half the dose or the dosing interval may by prolonged to 36-48 hours as indicated by the patient’s clinical response.

OVERDOSAGE:
In the event of overdosage, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Unabsorbed material should be removed from the gastrointestinal tract, the patient should be monitored, and supportive therapy should be employed.
