Femotidine act primarily to INHIBIT GASTRIC ACID SECRETIONS. The drug is typically used to treat ulcer of the stomach and intestines and to also treat conditions in which there is too much gastric acid secretions. The drug can be taken with or without food. The nurse should include all these information in her teaching plan.
