Tagamet, which contains the active ingredient cimetidine, is primarily used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, such as ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is not approved or commonly used for treating molluscum contagiosum, a viral skin infection. Treatment for molluscum typically involves topical therapies, cryotherapy, or other dermatological procedures. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.

Why is it not a good idea to take tagamet with maalox?

Taking Tagamet (cimetidine) with Maalox (an antacid) is not recommended because Maalox can interfere with the absorption of Tagamet, potentially reducing its effectiveness. Antacids can alter the stomach's pH, affecting how well Tagamet is absorbed into the bloodstream. This interaction may lead to decreased therapeutic effects of Tagamet, which is used to treat conditions like ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It's best to space out the timing of these medications to avoid such interactions.

Can tagamet treat plantars warts?

The podiatrist I just went to, after a failed laser removal at a general doctor, prescribed prescription Tagamet 2x day along with covering the area with topical acid covered with duct tape. I thought he was on crack when I left his office, yet it seems to be working so far. This has been quite the ordeal and I will be in heaven if I have finally found a cure.
