Description

Histamine H2 receptor blockers like ranitidine work by selectively blocking the action of histamine on the H2 receptors found on the cells in the stomach lining. By inhibiting the action of histamine, ranitidine reduces the secretion of gastric acid, which helps in relieving symptoms and promoting healing of conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Ranitidine is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) and peptic ulcer disease.
