J B Porter, and H Jick, and D R Perera, and J T Ylvisaker, and J R Hunter

In a 5-year follow-up study of 8553 recipients of cimetidine at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, we examined the frequency of uncommon serious illness requiring hospitalization that may have been drug induced. With the possible exception of one patient with probable drug-induced liver disease, we did not find any instances of serious illness requiring hospitalization that could be attributed with reasonable certainty to cimetidine. This large study provides reassurance that cimetidine is a relatively safe medication.
