Overview

CIMETIDINE What is cimetidine. Cimetidine is an H2-antihistamine used for heartburn, stomach ulcers, and acid reflux. It blocks histamine-2 receptors in the stomach, preventing the stomach from secreting as much acid. Famotidine (another H2-antihistamine in the same drug class) may be preferred over cimetidine due to its longer duration of action and higher potency. How can cimetidine help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms. Histamine is a chemical our immune system releases that causes allergy symptoms.
