H2 Receptor Antagonists are a type of drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. They work by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that stimulates the production of stomach acid. This helps to reduce the amount of acid in the stomach, which can help to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and other gastrointestinal issues. H2 Receptor Antagonists are available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms. Commonly prescribed H2 Receptor Antagonists include cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine. H2 Receptor Antagonists are widely used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. They are also used to prevent and treat ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Some companies that produce H2 Receptor Antagonists include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Sanofi. Show Less Read more
