About cimetidine

What is cimetidine?
Cimetidine belongs to a class of medications called H₂ receptor antagonists, which reduce stomach acid by blocking histamine at specific stomach lining receptors. It’s commonly prescribed to treat and prevent active duodenal and gastric ulcers, GERD, erosive esophagitis, and rare acid-secreting conditions like Zollinger‑Ellison syndrome.

Cimetidine is available as prescription tablets in strengths ranging from 200 mg to 800 mg, as well as over-the-counter 200 mg tablets (Tagamet HB) for heartburn. Injectable forms may be used in clinical settings.

Brand names include Tagamet and Tagamet HB, though the generic form is labeled simply as "cimetidine." It’s typically taken by mouth with meals or at bedtime for long-term acid control or as needed for short-term relief. Onset is within 30 minutes, with effects lasting 4 to 8 hours.

How to get a cimetidine prescription online

Getting a cimetidine prescription online with Klarity Health involves these steps:

  • Book a virtual visit: Use Klarity Health’s platform to schedule with a licensed provider.
  • Medical review: The provider evaluates your symptoms, health history, and current medications to confirm suitability.
  • Get your prescription: If appropriate, your cimetidine prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy.

How does cimetidine compare to other medications?

When choosing an acid‑reducing treatment, here’s how cimetidine stacks up:

MedicationUse CaseSide Effect RiskCost (Generic)Administration
CimetidineUlcers, GERD, OTC heartburnModerate: headache, dizziness, rare ‎gynecomastiaLow (~$0.15/tab)Oral, injection
RanitidineSimilar usesLower hormone effectsLowOral
FamotidineSimilar usesLow; constipation, possible headachesLowOral
OmeprazoleStronger acid suppression (PPI)Low: risk of long‑term PPI effectsModerateOral

Cimetidine is effective and affordable but carries more drug interaction potential and a higher risk of hormonal side effects compared to famotidine. Omeprazole and other PPIs offer more potent, longer-lasting acid control but may cost more and carry long-term use risks.
