It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth. Fam 20mg Tablet reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce heartburn.

Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed.
