Medicine Description rantag 50mg
Rantag 50 mg ampoules is a medication that belongs to the class of histamine H2-receptor antagonists. It functions by blocking the action of histamine on the H2 receptors found in the stomach lining. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the secretion of gastric acid, thereby reducing both the volume and acidity of gastric secretions. This mechanism effectively alleviates symptoms associated with conditions characterized by excess stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcers.
