Zantac is a brand of ranitidine which is used to treat a number of conditions including acid reflux, also known as heartburn. Acid reflux is caused by hydrochloric acid from the stomach flowing up through the oesophagus when the muscular valve (the lower oesophageal sphincter) which normally prevents this stops working. The lining of the oesophagus is not protected against this acid in the same way the stomach is, therefore a painful burning sensation is experienced in the chest as a result. Zantac tablets treat this condition by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach to prevent any excess acid reaching the oesophagus and allowing it to heal.
Zantac can begin to relieve the symptoms of acid reflux after 30 minutes.
Each dose of Zantac will suppress stomach acid for around 12 hours.
Making a number of lifestyle changes can effectively control and minimise the occurrence of acid reflux. Losing weight if necessary, stopping smoking and making dietary changes such as removing food triggers and eating smaller meals could all reduce the likelihood of suffering from heartburn.CautionsIt is advised to consult a GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, are taking any other medication, have problems with kidney function or have had an allergic reaction to Zantac before. It is not recommended to use Zantac continuously for more than 14 days.
Zantac contains the active ingredient ranitidine hydrochloride, an H2 receptor antagonist, which reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach.
Take one tablet twice daily for 4-5 days until the symptoms settle, followed by one twice daily 2-3 times per week as required.
Zantac does not normally produce side effects although those which are experienced are usually mild. Common side effects of taking Zantac include:
