Histamine H 2 -Receptor Blockers [Cimetidine, Ranitidine (Nonspecific CYP450 Inhibitors)] In healthy subjects who were given a single oral 600 mg dose of quinine sulfate after pretreatment with cimetidine (200 mg three times daily and 400 mg at bedtime for 7 days) or ranitidine (150 mg twice daily for 7 days), the apparent oral clearance of quinine decreased…

Compared to untreated controls, the mean AUC of quinine increased by 20% with ranitidine and by 42% with cimetidine (p<0.05) without a significant change in mean quinine C max .

Although cimetidine and ranitidine may be used concomitantly with quinine sulfate, patients should be monitored closely for adverse events associated with quinine.

When quinine is to be given concomitantly with a histamine H 2 -receptor blocker, the use of ranitidine is preferred over cimetidine.
