Ranitidine 150 mg tablet. I have always received a peach colored tablet w/imprint PAR 544. Concerned about white tablet is for Zantac?

Tiffanie, I appreciate your response, but if you are going to post to help people on a drug forum, then you need to know that the colors of the tablets really don't mean anything at all, you have to go by the imprint in order to be certain of what something is.

I want to know the differences of treatment of these two teblets Rantac D and rantac-150. which is more better in digestion problems. ## Rantac contains the active ingredient Ranitidine, while the Rantac-D contains that, as well as Domperidone. Both are used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and Gastritis. There is also no real way to say which would be better, because medications can affect everyone differently, so what worked great for someone else, may not work for you, at all. What has your doctor suggested you use? Both can cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Learn more:

Is ranitidine still safe to take after the expiration/discard date? Mine is 10/10/12. ## Hello, Linda! How are you?

can it be used after discard date ## It does not become dangerous, after the expiration date, but it will lose efficacy, meaning it won't work as well to treat an infection as it did, when it was new. This does create the possibility of developing antibiotic resistance. Therefore, you should see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I can't afford a doctor but exp was a year ago. Will they hurt me? Woke up with a tooth abscess and that's y they were given to me in the first place.
