Cimetidine Hydrochloride
The hydrochloride salt formulation of cimetidine is used for parenteral administration in hospitalized patients requiring acid suppression. It shares the same H2 receptor blocking activity and drug interaction profile as the oral form. Gynecomastia and other anti-androgenic effects have been noted with higher doses due to its weak androgen receptor antagonism.
