Ranitidine tablet is used for gastric?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Ranitidine

Ranitidine tablets were used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid. Indications included:

- GERD (acid reflux) and erosive esophagitis
- Gastric (stomach) ulcers and duodenal ulcers
- Gastritis and general indigestion from excess acid
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (gastric acid overproduction)

How it works: it’s an H2 blocker that reduces acid production in the stomach.

Important current status: in many countries ranitidine has been withdrawn or is no longer available due to concerns about NDMA, a potential carcinogen. If you were prescribed ranitidine, your clinician may have switched you to alternatives such as famotidine, nizatidine, or a proton pump inhibitor (e.g., omeprazole, esomeprazole). Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

If you’d like, tell me your country and the condition you’re treating, and I can share current options and guidance.
