RANITIDINE 300MG
Description
Ranitidine 300 mg
Ranitidine 300mg is a histamine-2 (H2) blocker that effectively reduces stomach acid production. It is commonly used to treat and prevent ulcers, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
By lowering acid levels, it helps relieve heartburn, indigestion, and stomach discomfort. This medication also aids in healing acid-related damage to the esophagus and stomach lining.
Unlike antacids, which provide temporary relief, Ranitidine works long-term by suppressing acid secretion at its source. It is best taken before bedtime or as directed by a doctor to ensure lasting protection against acid-related conditions.
Uses
- Treats Stomach and Intestinal Ulcers – Helps heal and prevent recurrence of ulcers.
- Manages Acid Reflux (GERD) – Reduces stomach acid to prevent heartburn and discomfort.
- Prevents Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome – Controls excess acid production in rare digestive disorders.
- Relieves Indigestion and Heartburn – Provides long-lasting relief from acidity-related discomfort.
- Protects the Esophagus and Stomach Lining – Reduces irritation caused by excess acid.
- Prevents Acid-Related Damage from NSAIDs – Useful for patients taking painkillers long-term.
How to Use Ranitidine 300 mg ?
Take Ranitidine 300mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily at bedtime or twice daily (morning and evening), depending on your condition. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food.
For ulcers and GERD, it may take 4 to 8 weeks to see full healing effects. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and spicy foods, as they can worsen acid-related issues. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but never double the dose.
How Does Ranitidine 300 mg Work?
Ranitidine 300mg is an H2 (histamine-2) receptor blocker that works by reducing stomach acid production. Histamine is a natural chemical in the body that stimulates acid secretion in the stomach.
By blocking H2 receptors in the stomach lining, Ranitidine lowers acid levels, preventing ulcers, acid reflux, and heartburn.
Unlike antacids, which neutralize acid temporarily, Ranitidine controls acid production at its source, providing long-lasting relief. This helps heal damaged tissues, prevent irritation, and promote digestive comfort.
It is often used for ulcers, GERD, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, ensuring effective acid control with fewer symptoms.
Dosage
The dosage of Ranitidine 300mg depends on the condition being treated and the doctor’s recommendation. Below are common dosing guidelines:
- For Ulcers (Stomach/Duodenal) – 300 mg once daily at bedtime or 150 mg twice daily for 4–8 weeks.
- For GERD & Acid Reflux – 150 mg twice daily or 300 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.
- For Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome – Starting dose of 150 mg twice daily, which may be increased based on medical advice.
- For Heartburn Relief – 75–150 mg as needed, 30–60 minutes before food or drinks that cause acidity.
