Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. This medication is used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, including Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Urticaria, and Dyspepsia.

The active ingredient, Cimetidine, works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that is released in response to certain stimuli and can cause inflammation and pain. By blocking the action of histamine, cimetidine helps to reduce the symptoms associated with these conditions. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects.

Common side effects include headache, nausea, and diarrhea. Patients should be aware that cimetidine may interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss all medications with their healthcare provider before taking cimetidine. At Bayview Pharmacy, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care. If you have any questions about Cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) or any other medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. This formulation is indicated for the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Urticaria, and Dyspepsia.

Cimetidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of histamine on the gastric parietal cells, which reduces the production of gastric acid. In addition to its primary function, Cimetidine is also known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.

For the treatment of GERD, PUD, and ZES, cimetidine is typically taken orally in a dosage of 200 mg twice daily. For the treatment of Urticaria, cimetidine is typically taken orally in a dosage of 300 mg twice daily. For the treatment of Dyspepsia, cimetidine is typically taken orally in a dosage of 400 mg twice daily.

Patients should be advised to take cimetidine with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach upset. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol while taking cimetidine, as it may increase the risk of side effects. Patients should also be advised to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications, as cimetidine may interact with other medications.

If you have any questions about using cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) for the treatment of GERD, PUD, ZES, Urticaria, or Dyspepsia, please reach out to your healthcare provider for further information and guidance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of gastrointestinal conditions such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), as well as Urticaria and Dyspepsia. This medication functions by inhibiting the action of histamine, a chemical compound that, when released in the body, can trigger inflammation and irritation in the stomach and intestines.

Furthermore, Cimetidine aids in reducing the production of stomach acid, which can alleviate symptoms associated with GERD, PUD, and ZES. It also has the potential to decrease the itching and swelling linked to Urticaria and can help mitigate the symptoms of Dyspepsia.

The Cimetidine 200 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. It is typically recommended to be taken twice a day, with or without food. Consistency in the timing of medication intake is crucial to maintain a steady level of the medication in your body.

It is also essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if you begin to feel better. This ensures the effectiveness of the medication and prevents any potential relapse of symptoms.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
