Description

Description

Acicon 40mg is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist medicine containing Famotidine as its active ingredient. It works by blocking histamine at H2 receptors in the stomach lining, significantly reducing gastric acid production. This higher-strength formulation is generally used for more persistent or severe acid-related conditions, offering longer-lasting relief and supporting effective healing of the stomach and intestinal lining.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Acicon 40mg contains:

• Famotidine – 40mg
• Standard pharmaceutical excipients required for tablet formulation

Dosage Form

Acicon 40mg is available as an oral tablet, packaged in a strip of 10 tablets per box.

Uses

Acicon 40mg is used in the management of:

• Duodenal ulcers
• Benign gastric ulcers
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
• Ulcers caused by long-term use of certain pain-relieving medications
• Heartburn and acid indigestion

How to Use

Acicon 40mg is generally taken once daily, often at bedtime or as directed by your doctor, and can be taken with or after food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding spicy or oily foods can support the medicine’s effectiveness. Continue the full prescribed course, and if symptoms persist or worsen after about two weeks of treatment, consult your doctor rather than continuing self-treatment.

Side Effects

Acicon is generally well tolerated, but some individuals may experience headache, dizziness, drowsiness, diarrhea, or constipation. Less commonly, fatigue, rash, or muscle cramps may occur. In rare cases, more serious reactions such as irregular heartbeat or severe skin reactions have been reported. If you notice unusual or severe symptoms, discontinue use and seek medical advice promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Acicon 40mg should only be used during pregnancy if your doctor determines it is clearly necessary, after considering potential risks and benefits. Famotidine is known to pass into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Self-medication in these situations is not advised.

Storage Instructions

Store Acicon 40mg tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the strip in its original packaging until use, and store out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
