About this item
Mecure Cimetidine works by blocking the action of histamine on the parietal cells in the stomach.2 Unlike antacids that merely neutralize existing acid, Cimetidine stops the acid from being produced in the first place. It is a well-established treatment for both short-term relief and the long-term management of chronic acid conditions.
Dosage of Mecure Cimetidine
This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
- For Active Ulcers: Usually 400mg twice daily (morning and bedtime) or 800mg once daily at bedtime for 4–8 weeks.
- For Heartburn/Indigestion: Typically one 400mg tablet when symptoms occur, or as directed by your doctor.
- Maintenance: A lower dose (400mg at bedtime) may be prescribed to prevent ulcers from returning.
Proper Administration
- With Meals: Cimetidine can be taken with food or on an empty stomach.12 Taking it with meals may help prolong its effect.
- Consistency: If prescribed a course, finish the entire duration even if you start to feel better after a few days.
- Avoid Antacid Overlap: Do not take an antacid within 1 hour of taking Cimetidine, as it can reduce the absorption of the medicine.
How to Store and Dispose of Mecure Cimetidine
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return any unused or expired tablets to your local pharmacist.
Quick Tips for Acid Relief
- Smoking Cessation: Smoking increases stomach acid production and can interfere with the healing of ulcers.13
- Dietary Choices: Avoid "trigger" foods like caffeine, chocolate, spicy dishes, and alcohol while your stomach is healing.
- Late Night Snacks: Avoid eating within 3 hours of going to bed to reduce nighttime acid production.14
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications and Restrictions
- Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to Cimetidine or other $H_{2}$ blockers (like Famotidine).
- Kidney/Liver Issues: Dosage may need adjustment if you have significant kidney or liver impairment.15
Side Effects of Mecure Cimetidine
- Common: Headache, dizziness, diarrhea, or mild muscle pain.16
- Rare (with high doses): Confusion (especially in the elderly) or reversible breast enlargement in men (gynecomastia).
- Action: If you experience a persistent rash or unusual bruising, stop use and consult your doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drug Interactions: IMPORTANT: Cimetidine can interact with many other drugs (like Warfarin, Phenytoin, and Theophylline).17 Always inform your pharmacist of all medications you are currently taking.
- Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use; it should only be used if clearly needed.
- Masking Symptoms: If you have unintended weight loss or difficulty swallowing, see a doctor immediately, as Cimetidine can mask the symptoms of more serious conditions.
- Pack Size: 20 Tablets (2 x 10 Blisters).
- Strength: 400mg per tablet.
- Manufacturer: Mecure Industries Ltd.
