Zitac tablets are given to dogs to treat vomiting caused by persistent inflammation of the stomach wall (chronic gastritis). Zitac contains cimetidine which acts to reduce acid secretion in the stomach. A dose has to be given 3 times daily for at least 2 weeks to be fully effective. Once the vomiting has stopped, at least a further 2 weeks of treatment is recommended to prevent recurrence. Side effects are unlikely to occur with Zitac, even if overdosed.

Customer recommends this product
After several attempts to stop my Yorkshire terriers projective watery bile-this has helped so much. Still does it occasionally-but down from half a dozen times a day-to maybe one or two-and he seems much happier. Far better than the other remedies.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Zitac Tablets for Dogs, including answers from our team.
Caroline
Can I give Zitac at the same time as Gabapentin or what gap should I do please?
Thank you
Yes Zitac and Gabapentin can be used together. There is no reason to leave a gap between dosing them both as they should not interact. However these are prescription only medications so you should raise any concerns with your prescribing vet as well.

My dog was prescribed Zitac last year when she had nausea and acid reflux which caused pain in her throat. Her vet advised a change in diet and said I should get her off the Zitac as soon as possible because it is not good for dogs long term. However, my dog keeps getting flare-ups and I am always putting her on and off Zitac.
Her symptoms always start during the night - would it be a good idea to just give her 1/2 tablet every night on a permanent basis?
This is a prescription only medication that your vet will need to prescribe to you. We recommend contacting them regarding any dosing advice, the medication may be safe for this use but not necessarily for your specific pet.
maz
can painkillers such as childrens calpol be given with zitac tablets?
You should not be giving human medications to your dog, such as Calpol, unless alongside veterinary advice. This can be very dangerous as some over the counter human meds can be fatal to pets.
If your pet is in pain then I recommend contacting your vet to discuss other medications they can prescribe for you. There are multiple veterinary licensed pain relief medications that can be safely prescribed and used alongside Zitac.

What interval does there need to be between tablets, and do they need to be equally spaced round the clock day and night or can it be purely before meals
Zitac should be given 3 times a day, as evenly spaced as possible but you do not need to get up during the night to do it. Assuming that your dogs meals are evenly spaced through the day it is fine to give the tablets just before meals.

can 200mg per day of zitac tablets have any side affects for my dog.
Potentially any drug can have side effects, but in fact this drug is remarkably safe and there are virtually no reports of side effects in dogs with this drug. It can sometimes interact with other drugs being given, but usually this just reduces the effect of the Zitac itself and not cause any direct harm. Nothing is perfectly safe, but this drug used in the normal way at an appropriate dose is extremely safe in dogs. (Usual dose is up to 10mg per kg bodyweight given 3 times daily.)

Can I give zitac on an empty stomach
Generally it is best to give Zitac on an empty stomach, before feeding. It acts to reduce stomach acidity, which is stimulated by eating food. Therefore if given before the food it has a chance to start working and is probably more helpful this way, though it can be given at any time.
