Ranitidine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called H2 (histamine-2) antagonists. It is primarily used to reduce stomach acid production, helping to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In 2020, ranitidine was withdrawn from many markets due to concerns about contamination with a potential carcinogen, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). As a result, it has largely been replaced by alternative medications for similar uses.
