Cimetidine does not alter morphine disposition in man. 1982

1 The pharmacokinetic parameters of morphine were determined in a crossover fashion following 4 days pretreatment with cimetidine, 300 mg every 6 h, or placebo. 2 Cimetidine had no apparent effect on the mean morphine plasma clearance, volume of distribution, AUC or half-life (P greater than 0.05; power greater than 0.80). 3 Cimetidine had no apparent effect on the magnitude or duration of morphine induced miosis. 4 The absence of a demonstrable effect on the pharmacokinetics of a drug with a high extraction ratio such as morphine suggests that cimetidine did not significantly reduce hepatic blood flow in ambulant normal volunteers.
