Effectiveness

How Zantac 75 Affects PatientsRanitidine reduces the amount of acid in the stomach. It is usually used to treat conditions that cause too much acid production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Taking ranitidine can improve the look of the esophagus as seen through an endoscope.
How Zantac 75 works in the bodyRanitidine helps reduce stomach acid production. It does this by blocking the action of a hormone called gastrin, which causes the stomach to release acid. Ranitidine binds to histamine H2 receptors, stopping the binding of histamine and preventing gastric acid secretion. This process can start providing relief in as quickly as an hour and the effects can last for up to 10 hours.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed dosage of Zantac 75 relies upon the diagnosed disorder, including benign gastric ulcer healing, Erosive Esophagitis and Heartburn. The sum of dosage fluctuates, as per the technique of administration (e.g. Intramuscular; Intravenous or Capsule) shown in the table underneath.

Zantac 75 for Condition in which Stomach Acid is Pushed Into the Esophagus
This medication does a great job at managing my reflux, though it didn't work as well for my daughter. She might need to explore other options.

Zantac 75 for Indigestion
My doctor recommended this to me when I started having bad reflux last week, and it's really helped. It didn't make the problem go away completely, but it stopped the burning sensation in my throat.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has experienced a drop in platelet count while taking Ranitidine. Also, if you know of any published reports on this topic, please let me know!

Zantac 75 for Heartburn
I have to take monthly urine tests for work, and recently they've been coming back positive for meth. I know this isn't possible, so could it be from this medication?

Zantac 75 for Condition in which Stomach Acid is Pushed Into the Esophagus
Worked well for my GERD, but unfortunately caused me to have nightmares. These were not your typical bad dreams; they were HORRIBLE, violent, and almost every night for two weeks. Once I stopped taking the medication, the nightmares went away.
3.3Patient Review
3/31/2009
Zantac 75 for Heartburn
The Zantac helped at first, but then I developed hives all over my body which has persisted for several days now. My doctor prescribed me Prednisone, but after reading about the potential side effects, I'm hesitant to start taking it. Right now a combination of Zirtec and Sarna is helping to manage the symptoms, but I need to talk with my doctor and pharmacist before starting on Prednisone.
