How To Use Zantac
ZANTAC: ZANTAC is best taken with or immediately after meals. This dose form must be dissolved in 6 to 8 ounces (180 to 240 mls) of water before drinking. Antacids and sucralfate can block the effect of ZANTAC. If you are taking an antacid in addition to ZANTAC, separate the doses of each medication by at least one half hour. If you are taking sucralfate in addition to ZANTAC, take the ranitidine 2 hours before the sucralfate. Do not stop taking ZANTAC without your doctor's approval. Stopping therapy too soon may delay healing of the ulcer.
Zantac Uses
ZANTAC reduces the amount of acid in your stomach. It is used to treat and prevent ulcers, to treat gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD), and to treat conditions associated with excessive acid secretion.
Zantac Precautions
If you have kidney or liver disease, tell your doctor before taking ZANTAC. If you have ulcers, do not smoke cigarettes. Smoking apparently inhibits ulcer healing.
