Tagamet (active ingredient: cimetidine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Duodenal Ulcers: Tagamet is used for the short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcers and the maintenance therapy of healed duodenal ulcers to prevent recurrence.
  2. Gastric Ulcers: Tagamet is indicated for the short-term treatment of active benign gastric ulcers.
  3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Tagamet is used to treat GERD, providing relief from heartburn and other symptoms associated with the condition.
  4. Erosive Esophagitis: Tagamet is used for the treatment of erosive esophagitis due to acid-mediated GERD.
  5. Pathological Hypersecretory Conditions: Tagamet is indicated for the treatment of conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which involve excessive secretion of stomach acid.

Tagamet belongs to a class of drugs known as histamine H2-receptor antagonists (H2 blockers), which works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms and promoting the healing of ulcers and other gastrointestinal conditions.

Cimetidine is available in tablet form and should be taken orally as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once a day at bedtime or two to four times a day with meals and at bedtime. Take cimetidine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Prescription dosing of Cimetidine varies based on the condition being treated.

  • For duodenal ulcers, the recommended dose is 800 mg once a day at bedtime for 4 to 6 weeks. After the ulcer has healed, the recommended dose usually decreases to 400 mg at bedtime.
  • For gastric ulcers, the recommended dose is 800 mg at bedtime or 300 mg four times a day (with meals and at bedtime).
  • For GERD, the typical dose is either 800 mg twice a day or 400 mg four times a day for a period of 12 weeks.
  • For hypersecretory conditions, the recommended dose is 300 mg four times a day with meals and at bedtime.
