Famotidine is used to treat stomach ulcers (gastric and duodenal), erosive esophagitis (heartburn or acid indigestion), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition where the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. It is also used to treat certain conditions where there is too much acid in the stomach (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, endocrine tumors).
Famotidine belongs to the group of medicines known as histamine H2-receptor antagonists or H2-blockers. It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Generic Name: gadoteridol (Intravenous route)
gad-oh-TER-i-dol
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) increase the risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with impaired elimination of the drugs (ie, chronic, severe renal insufficiency (GFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), or acute kidney injury. Avoid use of GBCAs unless the diagnostic information is essential and not available with non-contrast enhanced MRI. NSF may result in fatal or debilitating systemic fibrosis affecting the skin, muscle, and internal organs. Screen all patients for acute kidney injury and other conditions that may reduce renal function. For patients at risk for chronically reduced renal function (eg, age greater than 60 years, hypertension, or diabetes), perform lab testing to estimate the GFR. For patients with the highest NSF risk, do not exceed recommended dose and allow a sufficient time period for elimination prior to readministration .

Esterified estrogens are female sex hormones necessary for many processes in the body.
Methyltestosterone is a man-made form of testosterone, a naturally occurring sex hormone that is produced in a man's testicles. Small amounts of testosterone are also produced in a woman's ovaries and adrenal system.
The combination of esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone is used to treat symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation.
This medication may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone increases your risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that may lead to cancer of the uterus. Taking progestins while using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone may lower this risk. If your uterus has not been removed, your doctor may prescribe a progestin for you to take while you are taking esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone.
Long-term esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone treatment may increase your risk of breast cancer, heart attack, or stroke. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks before using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone long-term. Your doctor should check your progress on a regular basis (every 3 to 6 months) to determine whether you should continue this treatment.
Have regular physical exams and self-examine your breasts for lumps on a monthly basis while using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone.
You should not take esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone if you have:
a recent history of heart attack, stroke or circulation problems;
abnormal vaginal bleeding that a doctor has not checked;
any type of breast, uterine, or hormone-dependent cancer; or
if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
To make sure you can safely take esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
high blood pressure, heart disease, or coronary artery disease;
high cholesterol or triglycerides;
asthma;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
migraines;
endometriosis;
diabetes;
lupus;
depression;
gallbladder disease;
if you smoke; or
if you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy).
Esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone increases your risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that may lead to cancer of the uterus. Taking progestins while using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone may lower this risk. If your uterus has not been removed, your doctor may prescribe a progestin for you to take while you are using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone.
Long-term esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone treatment may increase your risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or uterine cancer. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks before using esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone long-term. Your doctor should check your progress every 3 to 6 months to determine whether you should continue this treatment.
