title: The effect of cimetidine on the immediate cutaneous response to allergens.
abstract: The effects of an H2 antagonist cimetidine on the immediate cutaneous response to timothy or ragweed extract were evaluated. Cimetidine had no effect on the immediate cutaneous response to either allergen. These findings suggest that cimetidine need not be discontinued prior to allergy skin testing.
