cimetidine and Bronchiectasis

cimetidine has been researched along with Bronchiectasis in 2 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.

Bronchiectasis: Persistent abnormal dilatation of the bronchi.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a placebo-controlled trial, the effect was assessed of an histamine H1-receptor antagonist, terfenadine (60 mg twice daily) and an H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) on the sputum production, dyspnoea score and lung function of 12 adult patients with generalized bronchiectasis."5.05Effect of H1- and H2-receptor antagonists on sputum volume and lung function in patients with generalized bronchiectasis.
