In what form is famotidine typically administered?

Famotidine is primarily administered orally, as it is available in tablet form and as an oral suspension. This route of administration is common for medications intended for systemic effects, particularly when treating conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcers. Oral delivery is generally preferred due to its convenience, patient compliance, and the ease of self-administration.

While famotidine can also be given by other routes in specific circumstances—such as intravenously in a hospital setting for rapid action—its predominant form of administration in outpatient settings is indeed oral. The other options, such as topical, intramuscular, or intravenous, are not typical routes for famotidine, making oral administration the most suitable and widely used method.
