Cimetidine Tablets (200 mg and 300 mg): Antacid and Anti-Ulcer Support

Cimetidine Tablets contain the active ingredient Cimetidine, an H2-receptor antagonist that reduces the production of stomach acid. While originally licensed for human use, this medication is frequently prescribed by veterinarians on an extra-label basis for various gastrointestinal conditions in pets, including dogs and cats. By limiting gastric acid secretion, Cimetidine helps to treat and prevent stomach and intestinal ulcers, manage acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux), and alleviate symptoms of gastritis in animals.
