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

About a month ago, I started having this weird sensation in my testicles. Almost like a slight achy feeling. I figured it was blue balls and decided to wack off to alleviate it. Nope. Didn't work. Actually it made it hurt worse. I went online and looked up my symptoms and found things such as testic
As the title says, I needed to get my IUD replaced today. I didn't have a fantastic experience the first time, and I made the mistake of reading last week's IUD horror story post, so I was REALLY nervous. Although I am NOT AT ALL discounting those stories-- there are many, many people an IUD doesn
That's the metal scissor like clamp/forceps they use to deeply double pierce the cervix to keep it in place while they insert an IUD. Has anyone's doctor mentioned the metal barbs that sink into our cervix prior to the procedure or offered adequate pain killers/anesthetics? I thought you all should
I was trying to keep things to two posts. But I realized while compiling everything that part 2 was just too damn long. So I've divided it into a part 3. For those who commented in mass to get cameras. I will, when I can afford it. I'm still in financial recovery from buying a house last year. And a
I (21, F) have never been able to insert a tampon or even a fingertip into my vagina my entire life. I have also always had 7-9 day, heavy and incredibly crampy periods (until I used birth control pills to regulate them to 4 days.) I waited for my wedding night this past February to try vaginal sex
