Cimetidine
$9.37
Cimetidine can help reduce nausea in pets undergoing chemotherapy and help prevent cancer metastasis in dogs with mast cell tumors.
Description
Cimetidine is often given to Tripawds to help with nausea after chemotherapy, or to prevent gastric ulcers when switching medications, such as NSAIDs. If your vet has prescribed an acid-reducers to help with nausea, such as Prilosec, be sure to ask if it’s OK to give Tagamet instead. Cimetidine is the generic form of the brand name drug Tagamet.
Dr. Demian Dressler, author of the Dog Cancer Survival Guide, has also added Cimetidne to his list of mast cell tumor treatments due to the drug’s anti-cancer effects. A Life Extension Foundation study also suggests, “Cimetidine works through several mechanisms of action, preventing immune suppression caused by tumor secretion of histamine, halting cancer growth, preventing angiogenesis, promoting cancer cell death, and averting often-fatal cancer metastasis.”
