Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Popular Stomach Acid Drugs Move to OTC Prescription-only medicines for stomach acid problems recently have been approved or soon will be approved for over-the-counter (OTC) use. These medicines are classified as histamine-2 (H2) an tagonists. Two drugs represent the first o f the H2 type acid-blocking medicines to be indicated for OTC status. The first H2 antagonist ap proved was famotidine (P edcid AC). From media reports it appears that cimetidine (Tagamet HB) will be the next H2 type drug approved. These OTC medicines have been approved for esophageal re flux disease, the medical term for heartburn. Pepcid AC will be avail able as a 10 mg tablet for the pre vention and treatment o f heartburn. Tagamet HB will be indicated for heartburn treatment only. Both drugs have similar side effects which includes nausea and diar rhea. Both should be avoided in persons with a history o f kidney disease. Nursing mothers should not take either of these medicines. At this time it appears that the biggest difference in the two medi cines, other than a wider approved use for Pepsid AC, is the greater potential for drug interactions with Tagamet HB. Drug interactions have occurred when using cimeti dine along with other medicines such as warfarin, phenytoin, beta blockers, and certain antidepres sant medicines.
