[Comparative study of the effect of famotidine and cimetidine on antipyrine pharmacokinetics in the human].

In a randomized order the pharmacokinetics of antipyrine were studied following a 5 days treatment period with placebo, 1000 mg cimetidine and 40 mg famotidine daily, respectively in 7 healthy volunteers. In contrast to cimetidine, famotidine did not significantly affect the disposition of antipyrine in these subjects. Famotidine like the other guanidino-thiazole containing compound tiotidine appears to be free from this unwanted effect on drug metabolism in the liver.
