An over-the-counter version of the drug is also available to treat indigestion, heartburn, and sour stomach. Both forms reduce acid production by blocking histamine in the stomach. Cimetidine comes in tablet form and is typically taken one to four times daily. Consult your healthcare provider before taking the drug if you have kidney problems, liver problems, or any allergies.
