Ranitidine Hydrochloride Injection is a medicine that reduces the amount of excess acid made by your stomach. It is used in people who are hospitalized to treat certain conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid. Additionally, it is used to treat ulcers (sores in the lining of the stomach or intestine) that did not get cured with other medications. The injection is generally administered by a doctor or a nurse, so it’s essential not to self-administer this medicine at home.
Here are some key points about Ranitidine Hydrochloride Injection:
Uses:
Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): GERD is a chronic condition where stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. Ranitidine helps reduce acid production and relieves the associated pain.
Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease: It is effective in managing ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.
Dosage and Administration:
The dose will depend on the specific condition being treated.
It should relieve indigestion and heartburn within a few hours.
If you are using it to prevent ulcers or other conditions, you may need to take it for a longer period.
Lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy or fatty foods, can also help improve symptoms.
Safety Considerations:
Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems.
Ranitidine is usually considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by a doctor.
Avoid alcohol, as it can increase stomach acid and worsen symptoms.
