cimetidine and Infection

cimetidine has been researched along with Infection 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.

"The cimetidine treated patients had more abdominal infectious complications postoperatively but this difference only reached statistical significance when patients who were operated upon for bleeding were excluded."6.65Does preoperative treatment with cimetidine increase the risk of postoperative infection? ( Lundell, L; Persson, G, 1983)

" Animals were then treated with the four agents in carefully defined dosage regimens, and survival was again determined on the tenth postburn day."1.27Postburn immunosuppression in an animal model. IV. Improved resistance to septic challenge with immunomodulating drugs. ( Bartle, EJ; Bender, EM; Carter, WH; Hansbrough, JF; Mansour, MA; Zapata-Sirvent, RL, 1986)
