Famotidine is a potent histamine H2 receptor antagonist that selectively blocks H2 receptor activity. By inhibiting histamine binding to parietal cells, famotidine suppresses histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion and lowers basal acid levels. This competitive antagonism attenuates intracellular cAMP accumulation, resulting in significant gastric mucosal protection and inhibition of ulcer formation in cellular and animal lesion models. [1]

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer significantly longer shelf life compared to stock solutions, ensuring maximum stability for every use.
