Ranitidine is an over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription histamine type 2 receptor blocker. Ranitidine is used to treat ulcers in the intestines and stomach, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In stomach ulcers or peptide ulcers, open sores appear on the inner lining of the stomach and upper portion of the small intestine. By reducing excess acid production in the stomach, ranitidine is helpful in treating patients with acid reflux. A growing number of risk factors are increasing the risk of developing peptide ulcers in patients, including pain relievers, certain medications (steroids, low-dose aspirin, combinations of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with pain relievers), smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, untreated stress, and eating spicy foods; ulcer risk is significantly increased. When given by injection, headaches and pain or burning are common side effects. Among the serious side effects are liver problems, a slow heart rate, pneumonia, and the possibility of masking stomach cancer. There is also an increased risk of Clostridium difficile colitis associated with it. An antagonist of the H2 histamine receptor, ranitidine decreases stomach acid production by blocking histamine. There is a possibility that ranitidine may increase your risk of developing pneumonia. A coughing up green or yellow mucus is one of the symptoms of pneumonia. Chest pain, fever, feeling short of breath, and shortness of breath are other symptoms. You should discuss your specific risk of pneumonia with your doctor. Ranitidine allergies should not be treated with this medication. Ranitidine granules and effervescent tablets must be dissolved in water before taking them. It is possible that your doctor will recommend an antacid to relieve pain. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the type of antacid to take, and when to take it. Drinking alcohol should be avoided. You are more likely to suffer stomach damage if you take this medication. You may need to use this medicine for up to eight weeks before your ulcer heals. Keep taking the medication as directed for best results. Your symptoms may not improve after six weeks of treatment, so talk to your doctor.
