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.

Mental Disorders: Psychiatric illness or diseases manifested by breakdowns in the adaptational process expressed primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling, and behavior producing either distress or impairment of function.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Since toxic effects of cimetidine are likely to occur within 1 to 2 days of starting the medication, close observation during this time period, and prompt recognition of psychotoxicity, can prevent disruptive side effects."1.27Cimetidine psychotoxicity without significant medical illness: case report. ( Giller, EL; Harkness, LL, 1983)
