Online Cimetidine Use Indication:
Your
doctor has ordered cimetidine to decrease the amount of acid your stomach
makes. It is used to treat and prevent ulcers and to treat other
conditions in which the stomach makes too much acid. The drug will be
injected into a large muscle (such as your buttock or hip); added to an
intravenous fluid that will drip through a needle or catheter placed in
your vein for at least 15 minutes, three or four times a day; or
administered by constant infusion over 24 hours
