H2 BLOCK SYP 100ML

About

H2 Block Syrup is an H2-receptor antagonist medication formulated to reduce the production of stomach acid. Its active ingredient, typically an H2 blocker like ranitidine or famotidine, works by selectively blocking histamine H2 receptors located on the parietal cells of the stomach lining. This blockade inhibits the release of gastric acid, both basal and stimulated, leading to a significant reduction in stomach acidity. By decreasing acid secretion, H2 Block Syrup effectively treats and prevents conditions such as peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and erosive esophagitis. It helps to alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach pain, promoting the healing of existing ulcers and preventing their recurrence. The syrup formulation allows for easy administration and absorption, making it suitable for patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or for pediatric use, depending on the specific active ingredient and dosage.
