  4. INTRODUCTION Histamine-2 blockers are the parent groups of Zantac/Ranitidine medicines.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a condition where our stomach produces excess acid, and these medications are known to prevent that.

  6. HEADS-UP Before taking medicine, always ask your doctor for a better option. A safer treatment option rather than the intake of this medicine is always ideal. Some may feel heartburn, which could be a primary symptom of heart failure. Some may feel an anxiety attack and, for some, a pain in the shoulder. In every case, always seek medical assistance rather than waiting for the condition to suffice.

  7. METHODS TO ADOPT There are general instructions to follow while taking this medicine. These aren’t to be overlooked but compulsorily followed to avoid mishaps. If it is liquid medicine, measure it accurately using a syringe or a dose-measuring device. Always follow the instructions of your doctor in any matter relating to the intake of Zantac medicines. Store it at room temperature and ensure it is not kept in moisture, heat and heavy light conditions.

  8. DOSAGE ISSUES OVERDOSE MISSED DOSE Lack of coordination and fainting happens because of overdose of the medicine. If you miss a dose, take the medicine as soon as possible and not wait for the next turn to come. OVERDOSE MISSED DOSE Always seek the help from emergency medical assistance or contact the poison helpline. If it’s time for the intake of the next dose and you had forgotten to take the previous one, just let it go and don’t try to take both the doses at the same time.

  9. THE SIDE EFFECTS STOMACH ISSUES HEART AND LUNG ISSUES Stomach ache, loss of appetite, nausea and Feeling short of breath, fast or slow heart rate, easy bruising or bleeding vomiting Physical issues SKIN AND HAIR ISSUES Fever, cough with phlegm, diarrhea, constipation, jaundice Loss of hair and change in the skin conditions to something abnormal etc.

  10. ZANTAC MEDICINE AND CANCER It was recently found that the Zantac/Ranitidine medicines have the presence of a cancer-causing substance called a carcinogen. This has caused cancer in numerous normal Gastro/BP patients. Though the FDA recalled these medicines, victims were huge, and they had huge hospital bills as a burden for their cancer treatment. The Zantac class action lawsuit came into existence, which paved the way for many patients to claim the compensation amount, which can be used for their treatment purposes.

  11. CONCLUSION Prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins medicines, and herbal products can have a bad impact if mixed with Zantac. Always discuss with your doctor the other medications you take if Zantac is prescribed to you. Please don’t share the medicines with others and always keep children away from them. Use only for the prescribed purposes and seek medical assistance while following the instructions to use the drug.
