Hi, just in case you didn't see the pdr post on tagamet. It is the only
medication to have a documented interaction with glucophage. I was
taking it and was told to stop by my doctor when she prescribed
glucophage. So if your not taking glucophage then it would not be a
problem. If you want to read it just do a search in the archives on
tagamet.
