What is Ranitidine HCl?
Active Ingredients: Ranitidine HCl
*Ranitidine has been withdrawn from many markets as of April 2020 due to potential contamination with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a substance classified as a probable human carcinogen. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA and EMA, have advised removing Ranitidine from the market.
For safer alternatives, consider other medications such as Omeprazole.
Ranitidine HCl Injection is used to treat duodenal, benign gastric, and post-operative ulcers. This drug is used to treat conditions associated with excess stomach acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. It may also be used to prevent Mendelson's Syndrome (acid aspiration) before anesthesia in at-risk patients.
This medication is indicated as prophylaxis for gastrointestinal bleeding caused by ulcers in patients with serious illness and recurrent hemorrhage associated with bleeding peptic ulcers. Ranitidine HCl Injections are approved for children over 6 months old for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disorder and the short-term treatment of peptic ulcers.
Ranitidine HCl is in a class of medications called H2 blockers. The active ingredient works by blocking histamine from the H2 receptors. This decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
