Tagamet, which contains the active ingredient cimetidine, was discontinued in many markets primarily due to the availability of newer, more effective medications with fewer side effects for treating conditions like acid reflux and ulcers. Additionally, concerns over potential drug interactions and side effects associated with cimetidine contributed to its decline in use. Manufacturers often choose to focus on more modern alternatives that offer improved safety and efficacy profiles.

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.

What ingredients are in tagamet?
Tagamet, also known by its generic name cimetidine, primarily contains cimetidine as its active ingredient. It is an H2 receptor antagonist used to reduce stomach acid production. In addition to cimetidine, Tagamet may contain inactive ingredients such as magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and others, depending on the specific formulation and manufacturer. Always refer to the packaging or patient information leaflet for a complete list of ingredients.
How far apart should you take tagamet from maalox?
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.
