cimetidine and Lung Diseases

cimetidine has been researched along with Lung Diseases in 5 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.

Lung Diseases: Pathological processes involving any part of the LUNG.

"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)
" Treatment with the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor cimetidine or 8-methoxypsoralen did not improve survival or reduce lung edema in rats exposed to 100% oxygen."3.68Effects of inhibition and induction of cytochrome P-450 isozymes on hyperoxic lung injury in rats.
