Question:
Has anyone ever been on Cimetidine (aka Tagamet) to help get rid of flat warts? How did it work for you?
My podiatrist just put me on this medicine, and I was wondering if it really works all that well or if I should tell her to stuff it because of the long list of potential drug reactions and side effects. Today is my first day of the medicine; she's got me on 400mg 3x a day. Thanks for your input!

I've prescribed it before for other folks as an adjunct (not the only) medicine for wart therapy. I found it didn't work so well on its own...
As far as the side effects go, any medicine you take has a laundry list of potential side effects. If you feel fine on the medicine, it won't hurt to continue on it. Tagamet is a safe medicine in most people. My suggestion would be to simply buy some Compund W and use it along with the Tagamet.
