5.7 Pharmacological effects of cimetidine

Cimetidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist, which has the effect of inhibiting gastric acid secretion. Histamine activates adenylate cyclase through excitation of H2 receptors to increase the production of cAMP in gastric wall cells. cAMP activates carbonic anhydrase through protein kinase, catalyzes the production of H2CO3 from CO2 and H2O, and further dissociates and releases the H2 receptor H, which increases the secretion of gastric acid. Cimetidine mainly acts on the H2 receptor on the mural cells and competitively inhibits the effect of histamine, thus inhibiting gastric acid secretion. Its acid inhibition effect is strong, can effectively inhibit the basic gastric acid secretion and a variety of reasons such as food, histamine, pentagastrin, caffeine and insulin, etc. *** caused by gastric acid secretion, so that the amount of secretion and acidity are reduced, and can prevent or reduce bile salts, ethanol, aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs caused by the corrosive damage to gastric mucosa, on the stress ulcers and upper gastrointestinal bleeding also has significant therapeutic effect. In addition, cimetidine has an anti-androgen effect, which is valuable in the treatment of hirsutism; it also attenuates the activity of immunosuppressive cells and enhances the immune response, thus blocking tumor metastasis and prolonging the survival period.

5.8 Pharmacokinetics of cimetidine

About 60% to 70% of cimetidine is rapidly absorbed through the intestine after oral administration. Oral bioavailability is about 70%, young people tend to absorb cimetidine better than the elderly; intramuscular bioavailability of 90% to 100%, intramuscular and static bioavailability is basically the same. After oral cimetidine 300mg, the effective blood concentration (0.5μg/ml) is reached in 0.5h; the peak blood concentration is reached after 45~90min, and the peak concentration is 1.44μg/ml; the peak blood concentration is reached in 15min after intramuscular injection. After a single dose, the effective blood concentration can be maintained for 4 h. Oral cimetidine 300 mg can inhibit 50% of the basal gastric acid secretion for 4-5 h; intramuscular or intravenous administration of cimetidine 300 mg can inhibit 80% of the basal gastric acid secretion for up to 5 h. Taking the drug with a meal can delay the absorption and prolong the duration of action. Cimetidine is widely distributed in systemic tissues, and can reach the fetus via the placenta, and can also cross the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. Cimetidine is secreted into human milk, where its concentration can be higher than that in plasma. Plasma protein binding is low, 15% to 20%. The apparent volume of distribution is 2.1±1 L/kg. cimetidine is metabolized in the liver. Cimetidine is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily by the kidneys, with a renal clearance of 12±3 ml/kg per minute. 48% of the oral dose or 75% of the injected dose is excreted in the kidneys in its original form after 24 h, and 10% may be excreted in the feces. The half-life is 2h for normal renal function; 2.9h for creatinine clearance of 20-50ml per minute; 3.7h for creatinine clearance of less than 20ml per minute; and 5h for renal insufficiency. cimetidine can be cleared by hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

5.9 Indications for cimetidine

1. Treatment of active duodenal ulcer and prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence.

2. Gastric ulcers.

3. Reflux esophagitis.

4. Gastrinoma (Zo? syndrome).

5. Prevention and treatment of stress and drug ulcers.

6. Peptic ulcer with bleeding.

7. It can be used in the treatment of various causes of immune deficiency and adjuvant treatment of tumors.

8. It has also been reported that cimetidine is used in the treatment of herpes zoster and other herpetic infections, including genital. It is also used for female androgenetic alopecia, acne, hirsutism in women, and herpes zoster.

5.10 Contraindications to Cimetidine

1. Hypersensitivity to cimetidine.

2. Because cimetidine can pass the placental barrier and enter breast milk, it is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women to avoid causing liver dysfunction in the fetus and infant.

3. Cimetidine has been reported to cause acute pancreatitis in animal experiments and clinics, so cimetidine should not be used in patients with acute pancreatitis.

5.11 Precautions

1. (1) Severe cardiac and respiratory diseases. (2) Chronic inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as the bone marrow toxicity of cimetidine may be increased. (3) Organic encephalopathy. (4) Renal impairment (moderate or severe). (5) Hepatic insufficiency. (6) Young children and the elderly. (7) Patients with a history of thrombocytopenia caused by the use of H2 antagonists. (8) Hypertriglyceridemia.

2. Monitor blood and renal function during administration.

3. Cimetidine may mask symptoms of gastric cancer and should be used after exclusion of malignancy.

4. Patients should take it on time and adhere to the treatment program.

5. Common overdose manifestations include dyspnea and tachycardia.

5.12 Adverse effects of cimetidine

1. The more common are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, constipation, bitter taste in the mouth, dry mouth, mild elevation of serum aminotransferase, etc. Occasionally, severe hepatitis, hepatic necrosis, hepatic steatosis, etc.. In patients with cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy may be induced. Abrupt discontinuation of the drug may cause perforation of chronic peptic ulcers, presumably due to the high acidity of the rebound after discontinuation. Cimetidine has also been reported to cause acute pancreatitis.

2. Hematologic system: cimetidine has a certain inhibitory effect on the bone marrow, can appear neutropenia, pancytopenia; there are also reports of thrombocytopenia, granulocyte deficiency; only case reports can appear autoimmune hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, eosinophilia. Hematologic adverse reactions to cimetidine have been seen in patients with severe comorbidities or receiving antimetabolite hydrocarbon-based drugs or other treatments that cause granulocytopenia.

3. Neurological/psychiatric system: (1) dizziness, headache, fatigue, somnolence, etc. are more common; a small number of patients may have reversible confusion, disorientation, restlessness, sensory slowness, slurred speech, localized convulsions or epileptic seizures, delirium, depression, hallucinations, extrapyramidal reactions, and motor polysympathy, etc.. Neurotoxicity symptoms, usually only need to appropriately reduce the dose of drugs can disappear, can also be used to treat cholestatic alkaloid toxic lentil alkaloids. (2) In the treatment of gastrointestinal complications of alcoholism, delirium tremens may occur, which is similar to the alcohol withdrawal syndrome and should be distinguished. (3) Neuropsychiatric adverse reactions to cimetidine occur mainly in critically ill patients, and are also likely to occur in elderly patients, young children, persons with hepatic or renal insufficiency, persons with a history of psychosis, persons with cerebral disorders, and with high doses of the drug. In addition, persons with pseudohypothyroidism may be more sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of cimetidine.

4. Endocrine/metabolic system: Cimetidine has a mild antiandrogenic effect and may be associated with abnormal lipid metabolism, hyperprolactinemia, decreased plasma testosterone levels and increased gonadotropin levels, *** development and *** bloating in males, and breast milk spillage in females.

5. Cardiovascular system: bradycardia, facial flushing may occur. Intravenous injections occasionally see a sudden drop in blood pressure, atrial premature beats, cardiac and respiratory arrest.

6. Urinary/genital system: (1) cimetidine can cause a transient increase in serum creatinine levels and a decrease in creatinine clearance, and its mechanism is that cimetidine competes with creatinine for renal tubular secretion. Acute renal impairment has also been reported, and renal function may return to normal after discontinuation of the drug. (2) Interstitial nephritis: it can disappear after stopping the drug. (3) Sexual dysfunction: impotence, *** decrease, *** count reduction, etc. can be caused when the dose of the drug is large (more than 1.6g per day), but can return to normal after stopping the drug. (4) Cimetidine treatment in patients receiving renal allogeneic metastases can lead to acute metastatic necrosis.

7. Eye: Optic neuropathy may occur. It is hypothesized that cimetidine has a zinc chelating effect, so that the body's zinc content is insufficient, thus causing optic neuropathy. Another eye muscle *** reported.

8. Skin: cimetidine can inhibit sebum secretion, inducing exfoliative dermatitis, dry skin, sebum deficiency dermatitis, alopecia, etc.; allergic reactions (such as rashes, giant urticaria), Shijo syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis can also occur.

9. Musculoskeletal: muscle spasm or myalgia can occur after long-term use of the drug.

10.Carcinogenicity: long-term toxicity studies of cimetidine in rats found a higher incidence of benign Leydig cell tumors than controls, but this adverse effect was not seen clinically.

11.Other: (1) Cimetidine can reduce the acidity of the stomach, causing the growth of microorganisms in the stomach, and in the case of regurgitation can be infected, which should be taken seriously. (2) Rarely fever, loss of smell and so on.

5.13 Cimetidine dosage

1. (1) Duodenal ulcer or pathologically hypersecretory state: 300 mg each time, 4 times a day, or 800 mg once at bedtime. The course of treatment is usually 4 to 6 weeks. The dosage can be up to 2g per day in the treatment of Zuoai syndrome.(2) Prevention of ulcer recurrence: 400mg per dose at bedtime.(3) Reflux esophagitis: 800~1600mg per day, the course of treatment is 4~8 weeks, and can be extended for 4 weeks if necessary. (4) Symptomatic treatment of reflux esophagitis: 200mg at the onset of burning and/or regurgitation; maximum dose is 200mg each time, 3 times daily. The course of treatment should not exceed 2 weeks.

2. Intramuscular injection: 200mg each time, every 6 hours.

3. Intravenous injection: dilute cimetidine with glucose injection or glucose chloride sodium chloride injection 20 ml and then slowly injected (longer than 5min), 200mg each time, once every 4-6 hours. The daily dose should not exceed 2g.

4. Intravenous drip: dilute cimetidine with dextrose injection or dextrose sodium chloride injection and then inject it intravenously, 200-600mg each time. the daily dose should not exceed 2g.

5.14 Drug interactions

1. Cimetidine is a hepatic enzyme inhibitor, which binds to cytochrome P450 through its imidazole ring and reduces the enzyme activity. Cimetidine is a hepatic drug enzyme inhibitor, through its imidazole ring and cytochrome P450 binding and reduce the activity of drug enzyme, but also reduce hepatic blood flow. Therefore, when cimetidine is used in combination with propranolol, it can increase the blood concentration of the latter and slow down the heart rate at rest; when it is used in combination with phenytoin sodium or other beta-lactone ureas, it can increase the blood concentration of the latter, which may lead to poisoning of phenytoin sodium, and when it has to be used in combination, it is necessary to measure the blood concentration of phenytoin sodium after 5 days in order to adjust the dose.

2. When used in combination with cyclosporine, it can increase the blood concentration of the latter.

3. When combined with moclobemide, it can increase the blood concentration of the latter.

4. When combined with thebaine, the latter's desmethyl metabolic clearance can be reduced by 20% to 30%, and the blood concentration of the drug can be increased.

5. When combined with aspirin, it can lead to increased solubility of aspirin, increased absorption, and enhanced action.

6. With methadone, can increase the latter's blood concentration, there is a risk of overdose.

7. Combined with tacrine, it can increase the blood concentration of the latter, which may lead to the risk of overdose.

8. With carbamazepine, can increase the latter's blood concentration, there is a risk of overdose.

9. Cimetidine increases the absolute bioavailability of verapamil (ipratropium). Since serious adverse reactions can occur with verapamil, although rare, they should be noted.

10. Combined with coumarin anticoagulants, the latter's rate of elimination from the body can be reduced, and the prothrombinogen time is further prolonged, leading to bleeding tendency. When the two are used together, it is necessary to pay close attention to changes in the condition and adjust the amount of anticoagulant.

11. Combined with lidocaine (gastrointestinal tract external medicine), can make the latter's blood concentration increased, thus increasing the risk of neurological and cardiac adverse reactions. When combined with lidocaine, it is necessary to adjust the dose of lidocaine, and strengthen the clinical supervision.

12. Combined with caffeine, it can slow down the metabolism of caffeine, enhance its effect and prone to toxic reactions. Caffeine is contraindicated in patients with gastric ulcers, and caffeine and caffeinated beverages should be contraindicated when taking cimetidine.

13. With benzodiazepines (such as diazepam, nitrazepam, flunitrazepam, chlordiazepoxide, midazolam, and other drugs), it is not recommended to take caffeine or caffeine-containing drinks. However, lorazepam, oxazepam and temazepam appear to be unaffected.

14. Cimetidine is contraindicated in patients taking digoxin and quinidine concomitantly, because cimetidine inhibits the metabolism of quinidine, which displaces digoxin from its binding site, resulting in increased blood levels of both quinidine and digoxin.

15. and antacids (such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium oxide), can relieve duodenal ulcer pain, but the absorption of cimetidine may be reduced, so generally do not advocate the two combined. If the combination must be used, the dose of cimetidine should be increased appropriately.

16. When used in combination with metoclopramide, the blood concentration of cimetidine can be reduced. If combined, the dose of cimetidine should be increased appropriately.

17. Because aluminum thiosulfate needs to be hydrolyzed by gastric acid to play a role, and cimetidine inhibits gastric acid secretion, so the efficacy of aluminum thiosulfate may be reduced when the two are used together.

18. Cimetidine increases the pH of gastric juice, and when combined with tetracycline, it can reduce the dissolution rate of tetracycline, reduce absorption, and weaken the effect; however, the hepatic enzyme inhibitory effect of cimetidine may increase the blood concentration of tetracycline.

19. With ketoconazole, can interfere with the absorption of the latter, reducing its antifungal activity, but with some acidic drinks can avoid these changes.

20. With captopril may cause psychotic symptoms.

21. Because cimetidine has a neuromuscular blocking effect similar to that of aminoglycosides, combining it with aminoglycoside antibiotics may lead to respiratory depression or respiratory arrest.

22. Cimetidine should be avoided in conjunction with central anticholinergics to prevent exacerbation of central neurotoxicity.

23.When used in combination with carmustine, it can increase bone marrow toxicity.

24. When combined with opioids, respiratory depression, confusion, and disorientation have been reported in patients with chronic renal failure.

5.15 Expert Review

Cimetidine not only has the effect of restoring immune function, but also has an antiviral effect. It is used for the treatment of herpes zoster infections, such as herpes orofacialis, herpetic keratitis and genital herpetic infections. There is an anti-androgen effect, can be used for the treatment of acne and inhibit prostate hyperplasia, easy to be accepted by elderly patients, but should be taken for a long time to avoid relapse.
