CIMETIDINE vs FAMOTIDINE

A doctor instructed the patient to take cimetidine to help with the rash and itching on her skin that is caused by a high blood pressure medication. Pharmacists, have any of you heard about using cimetidine for such drug-induced skin problems? Cimetidine interacts with a lot of drugs and the patient

Whether it's metformin inducing ovulation in women with PCOS, or cimetidine being used for plantar parts, what's a bizarre off-label use for medications that you know?

I've read some studies of Cimetidine curing Molluscum Contagiosum, at 30-40 mg/kg/day, and usually they cap the dosage at 1200 mg. I'm 90 kg, meaning I would need a dosage of 3600mg, however, the thought of self-medicating with multiple pills a day, since they're available OTC in 200mg pills, is a l

33, woman in good health. I've had a plantar warts on the bottom of my feet since I was in high school. One in particular has been so painful and large that it's altered my gait. 20 years of burning, acid, freezing, tea tree oil, duct tape, praying to a variety of patron saints of skin maladies,

(Because the sidebar says so: 24, F, 5'3", 100lbs, white, SW USA.) I've been asthmatic since I was a kid, and I've had a mild sore throat for nine months now. I've seen my primary care's PA and she thinks the sore throat is probably from dehydration (thanks cimetidine), but referred me to an ENT doc

I am a 32 year old female with a variety of conditions (I will list them below). I am VERY obese at 310lbs. I have had recurrent ulcers for years now, but currently they are worse the. They have ever been. Even after months of keeping them covered, babying them, trying to avoid pressure on them, an

24, F, 5'3", 100lbs, white, southwest US (hot, higher humidity than normal, moderate pollen count), symptoms lasting ~1 month. Medications: midodrine, modafinil, cimetidine, albuterol. I saw my primary care doctor two weeks ago (primarily for something else, follow up after lymphadenitis from a pneu

Static is the bane of my life recently. In my country and town, humidity sits at a steady 0% for ~300 days a year. The end result is that every powder - especially cellulose, progesterone, cimetidine and others - likes to stick to EVERYTHING, making it hard to pour, mix and measure. I'm wondering if

Hi so I'm crying right now because I recently just had my first stool test and blood test for food intolerances after four years of severe IBS symptoms. I was diagnosed yesterday evening with a severe case of C Diff (to the point where I have extensive colon and intestinal damage and am on the verge

**EDIT: I should have been much more clear in my language; I don't think I'm cured of anything, I have only had my symptoms reduced to essentially nothing from where they were previously (I took tums or famotidine 1-2/day to control what I would call mild to moderate acid reflux symptoms).** **I'm v

Still so surreal. I was just another sub member for years, trying everything under the sun for GERD and slowly losing hope. Till I had none. Like many of you, I went through the whole gauntlet - endless tests, endoscopies, pH tests, you name it. When surgery finally became my only option, I was unea

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share something I wish I'd known earlier: I was on esomeprazole (40mg daily) for over 15 years. No one warned me about long-term side effects, especially around nutrient absorption. Over time I developed severe fatigue, brain fog, and eventually iron deficiency anaemia.

Summary of my experience as some tips for LPR sufferers!!! Hey everyone I just came back from my ENT and I finally got diagnosed with LPR!!! It’s been months of me trying to get a doctor to believe me and finally, and ENT at Brigham and women’s hospital in boston Massachusetts diagnosed me. Her name

I’ve been a 25+ year user of omeprazole 10mg daily low dose. Suffer from hiatal hernia, gastritis, GERD, etc. Even with the daily dose of my PPI, I would still get flare ups and the sensation of a ball stuck in my esophagus. It’s been a battle, a very painful one. After recent studies, I decided to

Hi, I'm suffering from gastritis and GERD for about a month, and was prescribed PPI 40mg a day. My symptoms include tight chest pain, sore throat, the feeling of lump in the throat as well as the upper stomach pain, almost like someone punched my stomach. Since I started the medication, I cut down a

I used to take famotidine regularly, and chewable tums/alka seltzer for immediate relief. I recently went on a Disney vacation where my heartburn was absolutely awful, and it was already bad before I went. My mother, whom I love dearly, unfortunately tried to get me to go gluten free for the millio
