can my black lab take tagamet(cimetidine)
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.
You could take them together, if you have really bad indigestion. They work differently. Tagamet is designed to reduce the production of stomach acid. Maalox is designed to neutralize the acid already there. If you also have an ulcer, you need to be treated for that separately, in addition to taking tagamet. See your doctor, and don't take medical advice from WikiAnswers.
Take Tagamet first then after 30 minutes you take maalox
There is a chance that Tagamet (Cimetidine) will increase the concentration of the statin in the blood and increase side effects. However, I have not had problems. I am careful to not take Tagamet multiple days in a row and I seperate the doses of the two drugs by a number of hours.
Yes, you can. I got a list from my OB and for heartburn/indigestion you can take pepcid, tums, zantac, mylanta, or tagamet.
It's recommend that a daily dose of cimetadine be given at bedtime
Yes
Cimetidine
No. Tagamet is the commercial name of cimetidine which is drug that reduces the production of stomach acid. Mg and Al based medications neutralise stomach acid rather than affecting production.
Tagamet (cimetidine) is a H-2 blocker and is used to decrease the acidity of the stomach when treating peptic ulcers.
yes, Ativan is the only benzo that won't get stronger from tagamet. So, you don't to worry.
