Q

Cimetidine
Ranitidine
Famotidine
Nizatidine

A

H2 blocker “tidine”
MOA: reversible block of Histamine H2 receptors
- decrease parietal cell stimulation –> decrease H+ secretion
- does not block ACh or gastrin stimulation of parietal cells
Use
- peptic ulcer
- gastritis
- esophageal reflux
Toxicity
- Cimetidine: Inhibits CYP450*
– anti-androgenic effects (prolactin release, gynecomastia, impotence, decrease libido)
– cross BBB (confusion, dizziness, headache)
– cross placenta
- Cimetidine + Ranitidine: decrease renal excretion of creatinine
