Ranitidine 150 mgwere commonly used to treat conditions related to acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. They worked by reducing the production of stomach acid, providing relief from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Ranitidine was also used to promote ulcer healing and prevent their recurrence. However, it was withdrawn from the market in many countries due to concerns over potential contamination with N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a substance linked to cancer. Patients previously using ranitidine are now advised to consult their doctor for alternative treatments like famotidine or omeprazole, which provide similar acid-reducing benefits safely.
