Experiences with

Cimetidine

Hi, my doctor prescribed Cimetidine for my painful bladder, I have the impression that it exacerbates restless leg syndrome. I'd like to know your opinion before taking this medication. Thanks in advance.

I would like to hear the experiences of the forum on the use of heartburn medications-specifically omeprazole (generic Prilosec) or cimetidine (generic Tagamet).

I've got a date for seeing the gastro surgeon on 19/6 and hopefully better treatment while i wait. 40mg twice a day of Esomeprazole and cimetidine if needed. Has anyone taken these?. I've also got a date for my adrenal test on 18/5. Not long at all. Thank you all for your unwavering support.

Does anyone have experience with cimetidine?

A newspaper article and a paper in Nature that raise questions about the effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI - such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Dexlansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole and Rabeprazole), Sucralfate, H2-receptor antagonists (such as Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine

Anyone know of research Cimetidine (tagamet) and Loratadine (Claritin)? Is it ok to take antihistamines like loratadine, zyrtec, or allegra with CLL? Are any of the other names listed suspected as beneficial?

Over the last year my symptoms have become much more severe.I take Cimetidine which has helped with the constant coughing.It is now sporadic. I have also developed quite severe breathlessness.

I use Care Oncology also, but I had extra medication from him, such as Cimetidine. I am based in France, but anyone in the UK or Europe would be great. Feel free to message me privately! Thank you

The next thing I knew a script for cimetidine had been sent to the pharmacy with no discussion with me! Within two days of starting it my stomach was burning & the reflux was plaguing me again.

Fairly recent tests showed inflammation in my throat and I was put on a H2 blocker (cimetidine) and I was told it could be indigestion, but although I think it exasperates my problem - as the problem continues - I’m just not convinced that is the answer.

This was then withdrawn and since, my pharmacy has not been able to obtain the substitutes which the doctors have subsequently prescribed:- famotidine, cimetidine and nizatidine. Does anyone know if these are now available or a similar H2 blocker?

Due to the availability issues with Cimetidine and Ranitidine I have changed to Famotidine. Would be interested to hear of any side effects you may have experienced if you have also changed from Cimetidine to Famotidine. Also do you find Famotidine effective. Thank you.

For the school of thought that GERD can be caused by excess stomach acid, antacids such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI) like Prilosec, Nexium & Prevacid, antacids such as baking soda or Tums and histamine antagonists such as Cimetidine/Tagamet and Zantac which work as histamine receptor antagonists.

Has anyone else had problems with Cimetidine or are they taking something that they are very happy with. I also take Bisoprolol 10mg/Digoxin.125/Apixaban 5mgx2 and Furosemede I have Afib and a septal defect. Thanks

no real idea how much (if any) of the PSA drop is due to mebendazole and how much (if any) is due to the other agents (all of which I discovered on Health Unlocked prostate cancer forums): DIM - 300 mg starting June 2019 but took it very intermittently until March 2020 - since then it's been daily cimetidine

The following link shows the likely availability of the different options and should remain updated. https://psnc.org.uk/our-news/supply-notification-h2-antagonists-cimetidine-famotidine-and-nizatidine/ It maybe helpful to look at the list with your prescribing doctor and/or speak with your pharmacist

The Gastro Doctor prescribed the usual Esomeprazole , Cimetidine , Mebeverine and Gaviscon. So I'm maxed out.

Hi All I have just been given these tablets called cimetidine . I was wondering if they worked for you or if you had any side affects with them
