Ranitidine 300mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Ranitidine 300mg tablet is an H2-receptor blocker used to reduce stomach acid in reflux, peptic-ulcer disease and pathological acid hypersecretion. Acid reduction helps relieve symptoms and allows damaged mucosa to heal.

How to use

Take the tablets with or without food at the scheduled time; some ulcer regimens use an evening dose. Kidney impairment can require a lower dose or longer interval. Do not extend self-treatment of persistent reflux symptoms without assessment.

How it works

Blocking histamine H2 receptors on stomach parietal cells reduces acid secretion, including secretion between meals and overnight.

Side effects

Headache, constipation, diarrhoea or dizziness may occur. Rare serious effects include abnormal liver tests, severe allergy, blood-count changes or confusion, particularly in susceptible older patients.

Important information

Kidney impairment may require a different schedule. Persistent swallowing difficulty, unexplained weight loss or gastrointestinal bleeding needs investigation rather than continued acid suppression alone.
