You can get generic Zantac at Walmart or the like for $4 or less. If you have a Sam's Club around that is the best place to get it. You can get a HUGE bottle for under $10. The generic for Zantac is Ranitidine.
Yes, ranitidine is the active ingredient in Zantac, which is a medication used to reduce stomach acid and treat conditions like heartburn and ulcers. However, ranitidine was withdrawn from the market in many countries, including the U.S., due to concerns about contamination with a potential carcinogen called NDMA. As a result, Zantac is no longer available in its original form.
Zantac, which contains the active ingredient ranitidine, typically has a pH value around 5 to 6 when dissolved in water. This mildly acidic pH is due to the properties of ranitidine itself. However, the exact pH can vary based on the formulation and concentration. It's important to note that ranitidine was withdrawn from many markets due to safety concerns.
Those two drugs would be safe together. Zantac is a stomach acid reducer called an H-2 Antagonist. Nyquil is a cold and cough medicine. Also, if you check the label, neither of them has the same thing listed as an ingredient.
I don't suggest crushing or chewing Ranitidine (Zantac) it will not make them work any faster. If it's the effervescent tablets follow the instructions below. The 25mg Zantac effervescent tablets should dissolved in 1teaspoon of water. The 150mg Zantac effervescent tablets should be dissolved in 6-8ounces of water. *make sure you mix it well & it's all dissolved before consuming*
Ranitidine is not an opiate. Ranitide is an antacid. Opiates are pain killers. so I would have to say no.
Yes, you can take Zantac (ranitidine) at the same time as Keflex (cephalexin). There are no known significant interactions between these two medications. However, it's always best to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
