cimetidine and Bladder Pain Syndrome

cimetidine has been researched along with Bladder Pain Syndrome in 7 studies

Cimetidine: A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.
cimetidine : A member of the class of guanidines that consists of guanidine carrying a methyl substituent at position 1, a cyano group at position 2 and a 2-{[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}ethyl group at position 3. It is a H2-receptor antagonist that inhibits the production of acid in stomach.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine whether oral cimetidine, which reportedly improves symptoms in 60-70% of patients with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis has a similar mechanism of action on the human bladder and involving a similar peptidergic pathway as it has in human stomach, where it alters histamine-gastrin reactions mediated via H2 receptors and a proton pump."7.71Cimetidine in painful bladder syndrome: a histopathological study. ( Blackford, HN; Dasgupta, P; Dennis, P; Sharma, SD; Womack, C, 2001)
