Cimetidine (Tagamet)

Cimetidine (Tagamet)

Description

Cimetidine (Tagamet) is used for the treatment of duodenal ulcers, active gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, pathological hypersecretory conditions, heartburn and the  prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Cimetidine works by blocking H2 receptors that are found on the cells in the stomach lining. A natural body chemical called histamine normally binds to these receptors, causing the cells to produce stomach acid. By blocking the H2 receptors, cimetidine prevents histamine from binding to them. This stops the cells from producing stomach acid.
