Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Cimetidine 300 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 primarily 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.

These include Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), Urticaria, and Dyspepsia.

For Urticaria, the recommended dose is 300 mg twice daily. For Dyspepsia, the recommended dose is 300 mg three times daily.

Patients are advised not to exceed the recommended dose and should not take more than one dose at a time. It is also important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are currently taking. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.

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.
