Medicine Description ranitak 50mg
Ranitak 50mg Ampoules is a medication that belongs to the class of histamine H2-receptor antagonists. It works by competitively inhibiting the action of histamine at the H2 receptors located on the gastric parietal cells. This inhibition leads to a reduction in gastric acid secretion and pepsin production, resulting in a decrease in gastric acidity. By lowering the levels of gastric acid, ranitidine helps to promote the healing of ulcers and provides relief from symptoms associated with excessive gastric acid production.
