Cinadine (400mg tablet x 60)

Cimetidine:

Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist, a class of medications that works by reducing the production of stomach acid. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and heartburn. Cimetidine helps relieve symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.

Dosage:

The recommended dosage of Cimetidine can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s medical history. The typical dosage for adults treating peptic ulcers or GERD is usually 800mg to 1600mg per day, divided into multiple doses. For heartburn and acid indigestion, lower doses in the range of 200mg to 400mg taken as needed may be sufficient.

Usage:

Cimetidine tablets are usually taken orally with or without food. It is essential to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional or written on the medication label. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless directed by a healthcare provider.

Cimetidine works best when taken on a regular schedule to maintain a consistent level of the medication in the body. If you are using it to treat a peptic ulcer, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment, even if the symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as Cimetidine can interact with certain drugs, affecting their effectiveness or causing potential side effects.
