Long-term cimetidine does not alter serum prolactin
Horm Res.
1979.
Abstract
The effect of repeated cimetidine ingestion on serum prolactin values was studied prospectively in 17 men with proven duodenal ulcers. These patients received 400 mg of cimetidine twice daily for 12 weeks but showed no alteration in their mean serum prolactin levels. Cimetidine-induced hyperprolactinaemia is not the explanation for the development of gynaecomastia in men exposed to this drug.
