Ranitidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist, is now well established as a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion effective in the treatment and prophylaxis of gastrointestinal lesions aggravated by gastric acid secretion.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Ranitidine, when given in conventional doses, can cause adverse central nervous system reactions (CNS-ADRs), particularly in older patients who have substantial renal function impairment. These CNS-ADRs occur as a consequence of altered ranitidine disposition. Ranitidine doses should be reduced when renal function impairment is present, and patients should be carefully observed for CNS-ADRs.

Approved Use

ZANTAC® (ranitidine hydrochloride) Tablets and Injection are indicated for the treatment of duodenal ulcer, benign gastric ulcer, reflux esophagitis, post-operative peptic ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, and other conditions where reduction of gastric secretion and acid output is desirable. These include the following: • the treatment of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)- induced lesions, both ulcers and erosions, and their gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and the prevention of their recurrence; • the prophylaxis of GI hemorrhage from stress ulceration in seriously ill patients; • the prophylaxis of recurrent hemorrhage from bleeding ulcers; • the prevention of Acid Aspiration Syndrome from general anaesthesia in patients considered to be at risk for this, including obstetrical patients in labour, and obese patients. In addition, ZANTAC® is indicated for the prophylaxis and maintenance treatment of duodenal or benign gastric ulcer in patients with a history of recurrent ulceration.
