Therapeutic Note
Cimetidine: Cimetidine is less expensive than alternatives, and is effective and well tolerated in most patients. Adequate acid suppression can be achieved by giving cimetidine as opposed to using other longer acting H2-antagonists. Long-term use of these drugs for prevention of recurrent peptic ulcers should be reviewed; specific cure of Helicobacter pylori infection with antibiotics is a more effective and less costly approach.
