Ranitidine

Uses

Ranitidine is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease.

How it Works

How Ranitidine Works Ranitidine is a histamine H2 receptor blocker that decreases the production of stomach acid. It alleviates acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Side Effects

Expert Advice

  • Take Ranitidine before going to bed if you are taking this medication once a day.
  • It is highly effective in controlling stomach acid that is released during sleep.
  • If you are also taking other medications to treat acidity (e.g., antacid), take them 2 hours before or after taking Ranitidine.
  • Avoid soft drinks and citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons, as they can irritate the stomach and increase acid secretion.
  • Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Ranitidine for 2 weeks, as you may be experiencing other underlying issues.
  • Notify your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney disease, as your medication dosage may need adjustment.
  • Do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor.
