AXCEL Cimetidine 400mg is a potent gastric acid suppressor used to treat and prevent conditions related to excessive stomach acid. It works by blocking H2 receptors in the stomach lining, which reduces the volume and acidity of gastric secretions. It is particularly effective for patients suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) or peptic ulcers.

- Critical Note: Cimetidine is known to interact with many other medications (such as blood thinners like Warfarin or anti-epileptics). Always consult your pharmacist if you are taking concurrent medications.

- Usage Tip: For chronic acid reflux, it is best taken before meals or at bedtime to prevent nocturnal acid secretion.
