Ball-and-stick model of cimetidine, the prototypical H 2 -receptor antagonist. The H2 receptor antagonists are a class of drugs used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells (specifically the histamine H2 receptors) in the stomach, decreasing the production of acid by these cells.he H 2 antagonists are competitive antagonists of histamine at the parietal cell H 2 receptor. They suppress the normal secretion of acid by parietal cells and the meal-stimulated secretion of acid.
Ranitidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist similar to cimetidine and famotidine. An H2-receptor antagonist, often shortened to H2 antagonist, is a drug used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells in the stomach, decreasing acid production by these cells. These drugs are used in the treatment of dyspepsia, however their use has waned since the advent of the more effective proton pump inhibitors.
