Cimetidine

Cimetidine is a drug that is often used for treating peptic ulcers and heartburn. It prevents acid from being produced in the stomach; the method of action for causing this to happen is a histamine H2-receptor agonist. Cimetidine was first brought onto the market in January 1979. Cimetidine effects that have been charted out relate to this specific type of histamine agonist behavior and include interactions between Cimetidine and numerous other drugs (such as Atenolol and Cimetidine, or Cimetidine and Itraconazole) which are considered to be among Cimetidine's various down sides (for example, Cimetidine tends to interact with various types of oral contraceptives, and can render them ineffective without causing any other kind of interaction side effect that could clue people into what is happening).

While Cimetidine medication is famous for bringing about a modern era in which stomach ulcers are no longer a significant threat of death in patients, there are also various Cimetidine side effects. Cimetidine and weight loss may be related, as often people going onto or off of any type of medication experience some kind of change in their weight. Cimetidine is rumored to have the ability to reduce the size and appearance of warts, although this is currently being studied. Related to this, some people believe in using Cimetidine for herpes zoster or molluscum. It is possible that as a result of these preliminary studies of Cimetidine and warts that Cimetidine is getting an overblown reputation, and is now considered to be a viable drug for treating a lot of other similar conditions which it may or may not have any real potential for.

Still, you may be interested in asking your physician about the relationship between Cimetidine and warts or about comparing Ranitidine vs. Cimetidine or other combinations of similar medications. In the United States and in the United Kingdom, Cimetidine is a prescription only drug. Especially because of the various side effects that Cimetidine can have when it is combined with other kinds of medication, it is very important that you only take Cimetidine under the supervision of a doctor who knows what other types of medicine you are taking and what kind of diet and lifestyle you have. Make sure that you purchase Cimetidine both legally and safely and that you always pay attention to your prescribed instructions and the instructions and warnings that are provided for you on the sides of the Cimetidine package.
