Receptor Antagonist
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Cimetidine competitively inhibits the action of histamine at the
histamine H
2
-receptor and thus
represents a new class of pharmacological agents, the histamine H
2
-receptor antagonists.
Cimetidine is not an anticholinergic agent. Studies have shown that
cimetidine inhibits both
daytime and nocturnal basal gastric acid secretion. Cimetidine also
inhibits gastric acid secretion
stimulated by food, histamine, pentagastrin, caffeine, and insulin.
Its ability to inhibit gastric acid
secretion via this unique mechanism of action permits a new approach
to the treatment of acid-
related gastrointestinal disorders. In addition to its antisecretory
effects, cimetidine also has
cytoprotective properties.
In therapeutic studies, patients with NSAID-induced lesions or ulcers
had symptomatic relief and
healing when cimetidine was co-administered with the existing NSAID
therapy.
Cimetidine is absorbed rapidly after oral administration. The plasma
half-life is approximately 2
hours. The principal route of excretion is the urine.
The degree and duration of inhibition of basal and stimulated gastric
acid secretion are dose
related; the data suggest that 80% or higher inhibition throughout a
24 hour period can be
achieved by a dosage regimen of 1.2 g daily given in divided doses.
Cimetidine 300 mg reduced
total pepsin output as a result of the decrease in volume of gastric
juice. The drug had no effect
on the rate of gastric emptyin
