    Glossary Cimetidine

    medication reduces stomach acid and may treat certain hair loss

    Cimetidine, also known by the brand name Tagamet, is a medication primarily used to treat conditions like ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and other issues caused by excess stomach acid. It works by blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining, thereby reducing acid production. Interestingly, cimetidine has also been explored for off-label uses, such as treating certain types of hair loss (alopecia) due to its potential immune-modulating effects.
