How effective Is Ranitidine?
Ranitidine is an effective way of managing and controlling symptoms such as heartburn, indigestions and stomach ulcers. It is a fast-acting treatment that offers relief within one or two hours upon ingestion. The effect lasts for 12 hours, but you are advised to follow the doctor's instructions since this is a prescription-only medication. Ranitidine takes a few weeks to work effectively.
How does Ranitidine work?
Ranitidine belongs to a class of medications known as H2 receptors. It works by blocking the H2 receptors – found in the stomach lining - from producing excess stomach acid, thus addressing symptoms such as acid aspiration during labour, or surgery, recurrent bleeding from peptic ulcers and bleeding from stress ulceration in people who are critically ill.
Ranitidine tames the backflow of acid into the oesophagus preventing heartburn symptoms and damage to the oesophagus. It also reduces the amount of stomach acid that flows into the duodenum allowing peptic ulcers to heal and preventing recurrent bleeding.
Directions
What dose should I choose?
Ranitidine is available in different strengths, and only Ranitidine 75mg is available over the counter without a prescription. It is suitable for persons over 16 years and adults.
Otherwise, other Ranitidine treatments require a prescription, and the dosage should be taken as per the doctor's instructions.
How should I take Ranitidine
Follow the doctor’s prescription while taking this medicine. Swallow each tablet whole and with water.
Usually, the dose prescribed will depend on your condition. From children over the age of 12 years to adults, the prescribed dose is 150 mg twice a day, in the morning/evening, or 300 mg at bedtime.
The doctor works out the right dosage based on your prescription.
Nevertheless, do not forget to read instructions for best use.
