Description
Cimetidine Product Overview
Cimetidine (C10H16N6S) is a white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water. Introduced in the 1970s, it was the first H2 blocker and transformed the treatment of stomach ulcers.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets, oral solutions and injections that reduce gastric acid, and veterinary producers use it in products for dogs and cats. However, because it inhibits several liver enzymes, it interacts with many other medicines, so newer H2 blockers such as Famotidine have largely replaced it in human use. Similarly, proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole are now common.
Notably, Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical and veterinary companies.
