    Cimetidine is a histamine 2 receptor antagonist that decreases gastric acid production. It is used to treat gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Common side effects include diarrhea, headaches, and fatigue. Nurses should advise patients to take cimetidine with food and follow up on lab tests. Hydrocodone is an opioid analgesic that binds to central nervous system receptors, reducing pain. Potential adverse effects involve respiratory depression, constipation, nausea, and dependence/tolerance. Nurses should instruct patients to swallow extended-release pills whole without crushing/chewing and monitor their pain relief, breathing, and bowel movements.
