The surgeons have their drug tables, not me. The one I saw was a blurb in a huge ring binder. It is a stand alone use, not in combination with the proton pump inhibitors, which interfere with cimetidine benefits.

The table's dosage was much higher than this, like 2-4x higher dose, done twice before surgery, as well as our earlier anti-cancer doses.
Cimetidine as a single oral dose for prophylaxis against Mendelson’s syndrome, 1978
Most of all this paper shows it was done successfully with the oral drug.

This paper shows the importance of the night before dose.

My CA 19.9 in Poland was 29.36 pre surgery, pre chemo. It was not checked here again. I am KRAS wild.
