cimetidine and Schizophrenia

cimetidine has been researched along with Schizophrenia in 4 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.

Schizophrenia: A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"There is considerable interest in the role of serotonin (5-HT) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and in the mechanism of action of clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic agent and a potent dopamine (DA), 5-HT2/5-HT1C and histamine (H) antagonist."9.07The cimetidine-induced increase in prolactin secretion in schizophrenia: effect of clozapine. ( Lee, MA; Maes, M; Meltzer, HY, 1993)
"Cimetidine (400 mg) was initiated on the afternoon of day 15 and administered three times daily with every dose of quetiapine thereafter."5.31The effect of multiple doses of cimetidine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of quetiapine in men with selected psychotic disorders. ( Keck, PE; Strakowski, SM; Thyrum, PT; Wong, YW; Yeh, C, 2002)
" Eventual discontinuation of cimetidine therapy led to a return of schizophrenic symptoms, which responded to an increase in chlorpromazine dosage to previous levels."5.28Adverse interaction between cimetidine and chlorpromazine in two cases of chronic schizophrenia. ( Byrne, A; O'Shea, B, 1989)
