Side Effect Of Ranitidine

how does it effect to a liver disease or any other diagnosis. ## Ranitidine is a histamine H2 receptor agonist that helps lower the production of stomach acid. In the U.S., as well as many other countries, it is available over the counter. It can react with certain other medications and in some cases an alternative must be used or it has to be taken an hour or so away from the other medication. As to the other information you are asking, I haven't found specific details on that, but you may find more in the resource articles here: Do you have any other questions?

i am 66 yrs .i have pain around my shoulder near armpit transmitting to left side of chest .my doctor says it is muscular pain and advised signoflam bd and ratidine for two weeks .my querry is if it is safe to take for 2 weeks or sos basis ## The Ranitidine is a proton pump inhibitor, which helps reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. I am assuming your doctor gave you this, to help prevent the ingredients in the Signoflam from irritating your stomach. Because it contains the active ingredients Aceclofenac, Serratiopeptidase and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen). Along with stomach irritation, you may also experience: nausea, drowsiness and headache. The Ranitidine should be taken regularly, to help protect your stomach, only the Signoflam should be taken on an as needed basis and...

I use ranitidine 150 mg on a daily basis. As of Thursday June 16 2011 my doctor prescribed sulfamethoxazole tmp ds tab. Now two days later I awake to my body shaking and feeling clamy, also nausea and dizzy. ## There are no interactions listed for using both of these medications at the same time. However, the symptoms you described could be side effects of the Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, which is an antibiotic commonly prescribed in the U.S. under the brand name Bactrim. Additionally, they could be caused by the infection that is being treated with this medication. Have you consulted your doctor? Since the Ranitidine is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions like heartburn and ulcers, it can affect the proper absorption of some ...

I just wanted to know if there were any recalls for ranitidine 150 mg (IP 253) for 2017? ## There was a recall for the syrup manufactured by Actavis, but that is all I have found for this year, so far, according to the FDA recall list. Have you experienced some problem with this medication? The FDA warns that this medication may carry the risk of causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and flatulence. ## Has Kroger recalled its Kroger Heartburn Relief 150 mg Ranitidine with a National Drug Code of 30142-600-01? ## Has Avkare NCD (ndc 42291-724-60) Ranitidine 150mg tablets marked IP 150 been recalled?

When is my ranitidine tablet going to expire? ## If they are in an opened contained, then they expire one year from what they were dispensed to you. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Well I am using 6 year old Xanax and they are fine. However Rantidine will turn rancid in 150 degree summer car heat while other medications of mine seem fine. Just noticed in one refill of Rantidine from Rite Aid there were about 7 Silica containers or whatever they are called

I am taking 300mg twice a day since last 5 years. What can be the harm done to my body du to this. ## Have you consulted your doctor? Aciloc contains the active ingredient Ranitidine, it is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and Gastritis. I'm not really finding a lot of information on such long-term use of it, because it's generally recommended that these only be used for time periods ranging from 2 weeks to a few months. Therefore, the safety of long-term use hasn't really been scrutinized. ## hi my wife is 22 y old. and doctor is given aciloc 150, rablet D and calbovic plus for 15 days, but she is suffering with loos motion. it is happen with this tables.. ## Sir iam taking acilok150 m...

I was prescribed Ranitidine 150 mg manufactured by Amneal. Is it gluten free? I've been having stomach pain since I started it. ## I have to break Amneal 300 mg tabs in half and my throat gets sore.

I am patient of Hypertension. Along with other medicines like olemsar 20, my physician prescribed pantocid 20. I take pantocid occasionally. Now a days I am feeling no effect of pantocid regarding gastric problem. Should I discontinue pantocid? suggest other alternative medicine as i feel lots of gases in my stomach. ## take ranitidine ## Pantocid contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. First of all, these medications really work better for this problems, if they are taken regularly. Occasional use is not going to do much to help if you have acid damage, such as that caused by one of the conditions I mentioned above. And if you are just taking it to help with gas...

Are Cimetidine and Ranitidine the same? The doctor told my daughter (who is 8 months pregnant) she could take Ranitidine for acid reflux. All she has is Cimetidine. We were just wondering if it's the same? ## They are different medications, but both are generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it is always best to double check with her doctor to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and diarrhea. Is she on any other medications? Congratulations on the grandchild!!!!

After using this, will there be any side effects in pregnancy? ## Hello Mam, Congrats on your pregnancy. If you are apprehensive about this tablet, I think you should take a second opinion. Don't be scared to talk to another doctor. And in my opinion, if your doc has prescribed this then it should be safe. :) But finally, you should be comfortable, so maybe a second opinion would be best. Best o' luck. ## Hi Ann - Congrats on your pregnancy and hope that you are doing well. Aciloc (Ranitidine) is in pregnancy category B in the United States, meaning that it is considered generally safe. I assume you were prescribed this for some acid reflux (heartburn) during the pregnancy? Like NJ said, if you truly feel concerned it would not hurt to get a 2nd opinion. If you experience troubl...

Hi, I've been taking Nexium for about a year having switched from Lansoprazole which seemed to have become less effective for my reflux issues. The side effects have gradually worsened over the last 6 months, beginning with bloating that worsened as the day went on but in the last 6 weeks constant headaches and loose stools and diarrhoea with nasty stomach cramps. I stopped taking the Nexium 2 days ago and I'm currently using Ranitidine while my Dr is arranging tests. The headaches are a little better but the gastric symptoms are unchanged, how long might it be before things get back to normal? Many thanks, Matt. ## Hello, Matt! How are you? I'm very sorry about what you've experienced. It may take about a month, or so, for the side effects to fully go away and for your ...
