  • Title: The effect of cimetidine on plasma lipoproteins.
    Author: Hansen CP, Gerdes LU, Linholt J, Faergeman O, Boesby S.
    Journal: Dan Med Bull; 1990 Apr; 37(2):195-6. PubMed ID: 2344775.
    Abstract:
    The concentration of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins A-I and -B were measured in the plasma of 12 patients with peptic ulcer disease before and after five weeks of treatment with cimetidine. No statistically significant changes were found, but HDL cholesterol and HDL2 cholesterol tended to increase, and VLDL cholesterol and plasma triglycerides tended to decrease. A review of published studies indicates that the data at present are too uncertain to warrant use of cimetidine as a lipoprotein modulating drug.
