Cimetidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist used to reduce stomach acid production and is primarily prescribed for peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux, and related conditions. The 'combinations' refers to formulations where cimetidine is administered together with other agents for enhanced therapeutic effect. Cimetidine is still approved and used in some regions, although newer alternatives are often preferred.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated for healthy adult individuals for cimetidine when administered orally as part of a combination drug, based on known monotherapy data for cimetidine and standard pharmacokinetic principles. No direct publication with combination PK parameters was identified.
