Ranitidine is a medication used to reduce stomach acidity, indicated for the treatment of gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, and other conditions associated with excess stomach acid. It works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach, leading to decreased acid production and relief of symptoms such as heartburn or abdominal pain.

Ranitidine is usually taken as tablets, as directed by your doctor. The dose and duration of treatment are determined individually, based on the severity of the condition and response to therapy. It is important to follow the dosing schedule and not to stop the treatment without your doctor's approval.

Side effects of ranitidine are generally mild and may include headache, dizziness, constipation, or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions, heart rhythm disturbances, or changes in liver function may occur. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Ranitidine is an effective medicine for controlling stomach acidity, helping to relieve symptoms and heal stomach lesions. Following medical advice and communicating with your doctor are essential for the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking.
