Tagamet 200mg

Tagamet 200mg is an over-the-counter medication designed to relieve and prevent heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. It contains 200mg of cimetidine, an active ingredient that helps neutralize stomach acid. This acid reducer is particularly useful for individuals who experience heartburn after eating or drinking certain foods and beverages.

To use Tagamet 200mg effectively, take one tablet with a glass of water right before or up to 30 minutes before meals. If you need relief, you can take another tablet up to two times a day. However, if you experience frequent chest pain, wheezing, unexplained weight loss, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain, it is recommended to consult a doctor before use.

Tagamet 200mg is not suitable for children under 12 years old and should be stored at a temperature between 15-30°C (59-86°F). The inactive ingredients include cellulose, corn starch, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium starch glycolate, and titanium dioxide.

If you have an allergy to cimetidine or other acid reducers, or if you experience trouble swallowing food, vomiting with blood, or bloody or black stools, do not use this medication. Additionally, if you have heartburn for more than three months, chest or shoulder pain with shortness of breath, sweating, or lightheadedness, you should consult a doctor.

By following these guidelines and using Tagamet 200mg as directed, you can effectively manage your heartburn and acid indigestion symptoms. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the manufacturer at 1-800-482-4394 or visit their website at tagamet.com.
