Ranitidine 150 mg is a medication used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Ranitidine works by blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining, reducing the amount of acid produced. This helps alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid indigestion, and discomfort caused by excess acid. It can also be used to prevent ulcers in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While effective, ranitidine has been largely discontinued due to concerns about potential impurities, leading to the availability of alternative treatments.
