For the treatment of Dyspepsia, cimetidine is typically taken orally in a dosage of 400 mg twice daily.

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.
