Ranitidine tab?

Ranitidine tablets are an H2-receptor blocker that was used to reduce stomach acid for GERD, ulcers, and indigestion. However, ranitidine products have been withdrawn from many markets (including the U.S.) because of concerns about NDMA, a possible carcinogen, found in the medicine.

If you currently have ranitidine tablets:
- Do not take them. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about safe alternatives.
- Do not dispose of them by flushing unless advised; follow local guidance for disposal.

Common alternatives for acid reduction include:
- Other H2 blockers (e.g., famotidine) or
- Proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole, esomeprazole)

If you want, tell me your location and what you’re needing it for (e.g., heartburn, ulcers), and I can suggest appropriate, current options and talk through general considerations. If you have severe chest pain or warning signs of a heart attack, seek urgent medical care.
