Cimetidine? Cimedidin is a common misspelling of cimetidine.
Cimetidine (Tagamet®) is a prescription medicine used for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and pathological hypersecretory conditions. An over-the-counter version is also available to treat heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. Cimetidine comes in tablet and liquid form, and is generally taken one to four times a day. While most people have no problems with the medication, potential side effects include diarrhea, drowsiness, and breast enlargement in men.
