Medicine Description ranitak 150 mg
Ranitak 150 mg tablets is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as H2 receptor antagonists. It functions by selectively blocking the action of histamine at the H2 receptors located in the stomach lining. This inhibition leads to a decrease in gastric acid secretion, which alleviates symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid production, such as heartburn and acid reflux. By reducing acid secretion, Ranitak promotes the healing of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum and helps manage conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
