Effects on cimetidine bioavailability of metoclopramide and antacids given two hours apart

Abstract

Plasma cimetidine levels were determined in 9 normal subjects after a single oral dose of cimetidine 400 mg under control conditions, 2 h before metoclopramide 20 mg and 2 h after a potent antacid. The bioavailability of cimetidine was not significantly affected by metoclopramide and it was marginally reduced by the antacid.
