Famotidine-Ca Carb-Mag Hydrox Oral Uses
This combination of three medications is used to treat
heartburn and other symptoms caused by too much acid in the stomach (acid
indigestion). Famotidine is a drug that blocks acid release in the stomach and
can help stop heartburn and acid indigestion from coming back. Calcium
carbonate and magnesium hydroxide are antacids that work quickly to lower acid
in the stomach and stop heartburn.

Chew one tablet completely and swallow as needed to
stop/prevent the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, or take as directed by
your doctor. Do not swallow the tablets whole.
