Cimetidine

Cimetidine is a medication that reduces stomach acid production by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining. It's commonly used to treat conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), helping to relieve symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion. Cimetidine can also promote healing of stomach ulcers and prevent bleeding. It is usually taken orally and works by decreasing acid secretion, creating a more comfortable and less damaging environment in the stomach. As with any medication, it should be used under medical guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
