Cimetidine is the generic term for an H2 blocker, used to inhibit production of stomach acid to help treat or prevent everything from heartburn to GERD. While many patients buy Cimetidine under its most widely-recognized brand name Tagamet, the medication is increasingly available as a generic and may be sold under any number of other names.

It's also possible to buy Cimetidine in several strengths. In many places the medication is available over-the-counter in lower dose of 200 mg or less, while a prescription is required to buy Cimetidine in doses of 400 mg or greater. Lower doses of 200 mg are often sufficient for treating simple heartburn or acid indigestion, while higher doses are used for more serious conditions.

Cimetidine is used in all ages, but those under age 12 will almost certainly require adjusted dosage. Those clients age 12 to 16 may be restricted to 200 mg doses.

Cimetidine Uses

In lowering the amount of stomach acid produced, Cimetidine is very beneficial in conditions which involve too much stomach acid. In other words, patients usually buy Cimetidine to treat:

• Treat ulcers in the stomach and intestine
• Prevent healed ulcers from redeveloping
• Treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Allow erosive esophagitis to heal
• Treat heartburn or acid indigestion
• Prevent heartburn or acid indigestion

The medication may be used for additional purpose not mentioned above.

To treat or prevent heartburn or acid indigestion, lower doses of 200 mg are usually sufficient. Occasionally patients with severe heartburn or indigestion may be given a prescription for higher doses, but this is fairly unusual. Treatment is typically as follows:

• To stop current heartburn or indigestion, take one tablet with a glass of water.
• To prevent heartburn or indigestion from developing, take one tablet up to 30 minutes prior to consuming the food or beverage that causes heartburn or indigestion.
• In both cases, do not take more than 2 tablets in 24 hours without doctor approval.
• Also in both cases, do not use for more than 14 consecutive days without doctor approval.

Relief from existing heartburn or indigestion is very rapid, with effects starting in a minute or two---similar to relief from Tums or Rolaids. Taken as a preventative measure, the conditions typically do not develop at all.

It is in treating GERD, ulcers, esophagitis and similar conditions that patients usually buy Cimetidine at higher doses. While dosage, treatment schedule, and duration of treatment will ideally be determined by a doctor, there are some basic guidelines:

• If taking just one dose per day, it is best taken at bedtime.
• If taking two doses per day, one in the morning and one at bedtime is ideal.
• If taking more than two doses per day, doses should be taken with meals and one dose at bedtime.

Treatment for these conditions often extends past two weeks. Again a doctor can best determine duration.

Potential Complications

Numerous other medications can interfere with Cimetidine, including those for heart rhythm, asthma, malaria, cancer, and many others. Always double-check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing medications.

Side effects are relatively common, but the vast majority are mild and not cause for concern unless severe enough to be disruptive. Most commonly reported are:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Diarrhea
• Tender or swollen breasts
• Decreased libido

Side effects are always reversible when treatment ends, and some side effects can meanwhile be addressed with other medications, if needed, such as ibuprofen for headaches or breast tenderness. However, keep in mind that many other medications will interact with Cimetidine, so check with a doctor or pharmacist first.

Patients should avoid large amounts of coffee or caffeine while taking Cimetidine, and cut back smoking as much as possible. Caffeine irritates the stomach and smoking makes Cimetidine less effective.
