H2 Blockers (Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine) Mnemonic for USMLE

Study this H2 Blockers (Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine) mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

H2 receptor blockers or H2 antagonists are drugs that block the action of histamine at H2 receptors in the stomach. This drug class includes cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine. Blocking histamine at H2 receptors notably decreases stomach acid production, which can be used to treat acid-mediated disorders like peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Importantly, the drug cimetidine has a few notable side effects. Cimetidine is a powerful CYP enzyme inhibitor that can lead to various drug interactions. Cimetidine also has anti-androgenic effects, which can lead to gynecomastia.

Which H2 blocker is best for GERD with no stomach ulcers, just esophageal ulcers? Proton pump inhibitors just made me sick.
