How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cimetidine 60 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. This oral suspension works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a chemical released in the body during an allergic reaction. By doing so, it effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

The medication is typically administered once or twice daily, and can be taken with or without food. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule without skipping any doses. In case a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. However, a double dose should not be taken to compensate for a missed one.

For optimal results, it is recommended to complete the full course of treatment with Cimetidine 60 mg/ml Oral Suspension, even if symptoms improve before the course is completed. This ensures that the condition is fully treated and reduces the risk of recurrence. If there are any queries or concerns regarding the administration of this medication, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
