Product introduction

RAnitin 150 Tablet helps promote the healing of stomach and intestinal ulcers and prevents them from recurring. It is also commonly prescribed to prevent heartburn and ulcers caused by the use of painkillers. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your condition and response to treatment, so follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

This medicine usually provides relief from indigestion and heartburn within a few hours, and it may only be needed for short-term use when symptoms occur. However, if you are taking it to prevent ulcers or manage ongoing acid-related conditions, your doctor may advise longer use. Taking it regularly can help prevent symptoms from returning. You can also support your treatment by eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding spicy or fatty foods.

Most people do not experience side effects while taking this medicine. However, common ones may include headache, constipation, diarrhea, or mild drowsiness. These effects are usually temporary and improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or cause discomfort.

Before starting RAnitin 150 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, as your dose may need adjustment. Also, tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, since some may interact with this one. RAnitin 150 Tablet is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase stomach acid and worsen your symptoms.

Uses of RAnitin Tablet

Management of Peptic ulcer disease
Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Control Acidity

Benefits of RAnitin Tablet

Management of Peptic ulcer disease
RAnitin 150 Tablet helps treat and prevent peptic ulcers, including duodenal ulcers, benign gastric ulcers, and post-operative ulcers, and is used for maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence. It is also used to prevent re-bleeding in patients with a history of bleeding peptic ulcers. It lowers stomach acid levels and allows ulcerated tissue in the stomach or intestine to heal effectively, reducing irritation and pain. This supports recovery and helps prevent ulcer recurrence when taken as directed by your doctor.

Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
RAnitin 150 Tablet is used in the treatment and long-term management of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, including cases with reflux esophagitis, to relieve symptoms and promote healing of the esophageal lining. It reduces excess acid production in the stomach, which helps prevent acid from flowing back into the food pipe. This eases heartburn, acidity, and discomfort after meals and improves overall comfort when used regularly as prescribed.

Control Acidity
RAnitin 150 Tablet helps control conditions associated with excessive stomach acid production, including acid hypersecretory states such as Zollinger–Ellison syndrome, NSAID-associated gastric and duodenal injury, and stress-related mucosal damage in seriously ill patients. It is also used in high-risk situations to reduce gastric acidity for the prevention of acid aspiration during anesthesia. It works by reducing acid levels and protecting the stomach lining, reducing irritation and helping prevent acid-related complications.

How RAnitin Tablet works

RAnitin 150 Tablet works by blocking histamine H2 receptors on the acid-producing cells of the stomach. This reduces both basal and stimulated secretion of gastric acid, lowering the volume and acidity of stomach contents. By decreasing acid production, ranitidine helps relieve acid-related symptoms and allows irritated or ulcerated areas of the stomach and esophagus to heal.
