The drug cimetidine was designed to: This question has multiple correct options

1. prevent the interaction of histamine with receptors
2. stimulates the secretion of pepsin
3. reduce gaestro intestinal juices
4. all of the above

Correct answer: prevent the interaction of histamine with receptors

Solution

Cimetidine is an H2-receptor antagonist, so it prevents histamine from binding to its receptors. That reduces gastric acid secretion; it does not stimulate pepsin, and “all of the above” is incorrect.
