Overview:

ranitidine hydrochloride
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Ranitidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist similar to cimetidine and famotidine, is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer disease. For the treatment of peptic or duodenal ulcers

Mechanism Of Action:
Ranitidine competes with histamine for binding at H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells. Competitive inhibition results in reduced basal and nocturnal gastric acid secretion. Ranitidine also decreases the amount of gastric acid released in response to stimuli such as food, caffeine, insulin, betazole, or pentagastrin. Other actions of ranitidine include an increase in gastric bacterial flora such as nitrate-reducing organisms.
