Description
Rantac 300 Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach, helping to alleviate symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, and other acid-related issues.
Key Ingredient:
- Ranitidine (300mg): A histamine H2 receptor blocker that reduces the production of stomach acid. By doing so, it helps to relieve symptoms associated with acid reflux, heartburn, and ulcers.
Uses of Rantac 300 Tablet:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Helps to reduce the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents acid from flowing back into the esophagus, alleviating heartburn and indigestion.
- Peptic Ulcer Disease: Prevents and heals stomach ulcers by decreasing stomach acid, which can irritate or worsen ulcers.
- Preventing Ulcers and Heartburn Due to Painkillers: Often used when taking NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to prevent stomach ulcers or heartburn caused by these medications.
How It Works:
Rantac 300 Tablet is an H2 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, which are responsible for stimulating acid production. This action significantly reduces stomach acid, helping to heal ulcers, prevent acid reflux, and relieve heartburn and indigestion.
