Zantac 150 mg tablets contain ranitidine, a medication that reduces stomach acid production. This makes them effective for treating heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers.
Dosage: Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Typical doses range from 150 mg to 300 mg daily, depending on your condition and the severity of your symptoms. Never exceed the recommended dosage.
How it works: Ranitidine blocks histamine, a substance that stimulates acid production in the stomach. By inhibiting histamine, Zantac lowers the amount of acid your stomach produces, providing relief from symptoms.
Side effects: While generally safe, some people experience mild side effects like headache, constipation, or diarrhea. Serious side effects are rare. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience unusual symptoms.
Precautions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to prevent potential interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss Zantac use with their doctor before taking it.
Storage: Store Zantac tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them out of reach of children.
Important Note: Ranitidine-containing products have been recalled in some regions due to NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) contamination concerns. Check with your pharmacist or doctor to ensure you are using a safe and approved product.
