Etymology
Cimetidine is a modern drug name made from parts; notice the ending -tidine, which it shares with other stomach medicines like ranitidine and famotidine. A helpful way to remember its meaning is that drugs with -tidine usually 'lower stomach acid', so cimetidine is a medicine that reduces acid in the stomach.
