Belle, I copied the following from planet Rx. This is what worries me. I have been on Met 2000 mg since about february. I am going to call my doctor and ask him about this, but do you have any thoughts about it? sorry if i posted this twice, it did not seem to go thru the first time. thanks for any help.

Tagamet interacts with Glucophage Severity: Moderate Description: Cimetidine may significantly reduce the renal tubular secretion of metformin. In one study, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve for metformin was increased by 50% and the plasma clearance was reduced by 27%. Particularly slow and cautious titration of metformin dosage is recommended if these drugs must be used together. The maximal dose of metformin should also be reduced.
