The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is mainly used in the treatment of heartburn and peptic ulcers.
- With the development of proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, approved for the same indications, cimetidine is available as an over-the-counter formulation to prevent heartburn or acid indigestion, along with the other H2-receptor antagonists.
- Cimetidine was developed in 1971 and came into commercial use in 1977.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cimetidine article was read about 51,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
