Cimetidine - What is it for

Cimetidine works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat various conditions of the gastrointestinal (stomach and intestines) tract including:

Gastro-oesophagel reflux disease (a condition where the acid from the stomach goes back up from the food tube and throat causing pain and a burning sensation known as heartburn)
Treating and preventing ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract
