New construction put in place is forecast to reach almost 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2020. After the collapse of oil prices, the demand in the engineering and construction sector has slowed. Political and policy changes under the new White House government will also inevitably alter the construction industry.
Famotidine also is used for treating heartburn and in healing ulceration and inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) resulting from acid (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD). High doses are used for treating conditions in which there are marked increases in acid secretion such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Famotidine, which also has been marketed the brand names - Pepcid and Pepcidine, works to inhibit the production of stomach acid. Another product called Pepcid Complete combines famotidine with an antacid to form a chewable tablet. Unlike other H2 antagomists like cimetidine, Famotidine does not have an effect on the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. H2 antagomists block the histamine receptors in the secretory cells of the stomach.
