| 5 | gasteroloy. | 1 days | 5/22/2015 | 3 | Ulcers | None | Zantac didn't work. Tagamet is more effective. | 2 weeks | 11/26/2004 | 3 | aspirin stomach irritation | Hot flushes. Muscle aches and weakness and breathless especially about 20 minutes after taking it. Have had ache in jaw and side of head. Feeling nauseous and get constipated. Taking it to help prevent stomach irritation due to daily aspirin. | 60 | 16 months 150 | 12/5/2018 | 1 | Erosive Gastritis | Was on ranitidine 150 mg 3 times, then 2 times, then I dropped it to 1 time and now I dropped it completely...a nightmare of a drug...stomach pain, upset stomach, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, brain fog... a medication that needs to be discontinued, unfortunately it is sold over the counter, people need to change their eating habits because these new drugs that the doctors are pushing on us are doing us more harm than good. | When has a doctor ever said "eat a banana for heartburn or drink a spearmint tea for gas and bloating??All they do is right us up for drugs, and how do pharmaceuticals get away producing these drugs that is doing more harm than good? by announcing all the possible side effects so like that they do not get sued... why take a pill with all those side effects, you will need another pill to deal with the side effects of the other pill... it's a cycle that does not stop... stay away from this pill, no good whatsoever !! | 56 | 4 months 150 mg | 4/17/2017 | 5 | Gerds and indigestion | Did an excellent job on my indigestion but after about 1/2 hour, I had excruciating shoulder pain. | F | 61 | 1 times 150 | 5/4/2017 | 5 | GERF | Diarrhea and stomach pain with nausea | These side effects are new. Just started having them today. (6/20/17) Other than these side effects, I love this medication. I've been dealing with unforgiving acid reflux for years now and I am so happy that my doctor prescribed me these. My only question for anyone taking or has taken this is: how long does the diarrhea last for you? I've gone to the bathroom 4 times in the past 1.5 hours. | F | 23 | 3 months 300MG | 6/20/2017 | 5 | Chest pains diagnosed as GERD | After about a week I experienced a little constipation. | I was skeptical having had heartburn before that this would resolve my chest pains (I was seriously worried it was cardiac or pulmonary + really bad), but a couple of days in it did! I also evaluated my diet and made some small adjustments (less caffeine, carbonated beverages, more consistent small meals), and I'm pleased I trusted the Dr. and am pain-free. | F | 51 | 21 days 150mg 2X | 6/29/2017 | 5 | from severe acid reflux at night | I started taking 2 times a day and immediately had trouble falling asleep and felt anxious. I would be fidgeting in bed a lot. I stopped the morning dose and started only taking at night since that's when I had worse symptoms with my stomach and immediately within 2 days of lowering the anxiety stopped. The Zantac was still effective. After a few months I started taking the second dose again and I did not get anxious I guess because my body was used to it. Zantac has changed my life. I couldn't sleep laying down at all I had to completely sit up to sleep or the heart burn was violent. And the only thing that would instantly stop the stomach acid from coming up was pepto bismal which took almost 2 years of suffering to find that out. Zantac is amazing. Just take a lower dose if u get anxious it will go away | F | 32 | 1 years 150 mg 2X | 9/13/2015 | 5 | for reflux | This was the only thing that eased my reflux, and now I am unable to get it because no one sells it, because of a stupid lawsuit. I suffer every day because nothing else works... | F | 32 | 1 times 150mg 1X day | 9/24/2020 | 5 | shunt/stomac problems | none | F | 28 | | 7/8/2004 | 5 | start of a ulser | i am not sure but the sun i think is not good to be in. | this med is the best and it works | F | 14 | 3 weeks | 6/27/2006 | 5 | GERD | Cured my coughing and chronic runny nose. | I have been to several doctors about my chronic coughing, runny nose and asthma sympstoms that began a year ago. I have sarcoidosis, but it's in remission. I went to a new pulmonologist at Vanderbilt and based on the fact that I had asthma symptoms when I woke up in the mornings and 30 minutes after I eat, she diagnosed my problem as GERD. After taking Zantac, I feel wonderful. I haven't had to use my rescue inhaler in two days! I was using it 2 - 6 times per day!!! | F | 45 | 3 days | 8/30/2008 | 5 | Allergy | Heart palpitations | I'm taking this drug off-label because it is a histamine H2 receptor inhibitor; it blocks the effects histamine has on your stomach and gut. It has really given me my life back! This is a fantastic, low-risk option for anyone experiencing allergy-related vomiting and nausea, or vomiting and nausea without knowing the cause. | F | 34 | 300 days 150 2X day | 1/18/2011 | 5 | Acid reflux | Chronic Constipation and nightmares at times. I use prune juice it is my new miracle drug. | F | 52 | 30 years 1X day | 7/14/2013 | 5 | Food alway get caught in my throat | F | 10 years 150 | 3/28/2015 | 5 | Allergies, IBS | NONE, except at times a ringing in the ears which could have been caused by ranitidine | My doctor prescribed zantac as a beta blocker for my allergies, she said it would also help with my stomach problems. Let me just tell you what my life was like before I started taking zantac: I lived in fear of eating anything, and I LOVE all food. For many years I suffered with stomach issues, it got to the point where after I ate just about anything (no matter the amount) I would have diarrhea, or feel so sick to my stomach I would be hunched over in pain. After I would use the restroom I would have a burning sensation down there that would last for at least 30 minutes, sometimes I would have to lie down it would cause me so much pain. After starting on zantac twice a day, ALL OF THIS CEASED. I realized then how bad my stomach problems actually were. I could eat whatever I wanted again, and drink coffee again, and now I only feel sick to my stomach when I actually AM SICK. Zantac saved my life!! | F | 21 | 1 years | 12/20/2009 | 4 | H.Hernia/Acid reflux/Pain swollowin | GP prescribed this as Rabaprazole caused heart arrythmia and Omaprazole caused itchy skin. First 7 days fine but little acid relief then OMG nausea in mornings constipation all day and persistant stomach pain and horrendous belching.Some alteration to diet assisted this and I persevered with it. Now much better less symptoms and much less acid. Heard it can take a month to improve.I'm gonna stick with GP's advise and use it if all else fails but try natural remedies otherwise as it can stop absorbtion of vits and minerals so I'm taking a multivit at same time as don't want lose of magnesium causing ectopic heart rhythmn | F | 46 | 10 days 300mg/day | 8/21/2014 | 4 | GERD | Burning mouth and tongue | This is the first time I took it. I took it at night and even though it did help with the stomach acid I got severe burning mouth and tongue. I will not be continuing with this medication. | F | 66 | 1 days 150 1X day | 8/25/2014 | 4 | too much acid in my stomach | Headache,gas,infrequent bowel movements,stomach cramps but the side effects dont happen every day. They come and go. | It has helped me. I have taken Prevacid and Prilosec in the past and both of them I couldnt tolerate over time. So Zantac has been very helpful. | F | 51 | 14 days 150 MG 2X day | 5/25/2012 | 4 | GERD and gastritis | I feel a bit more tired right after I take the medication (but it gets better within an hour or two). | I take the medication once in the morning as soon as I wake up and once at night right before I go to sleep. It took a while for the medication to start working, but now it seems to work well. | F | 28 | 3 months 150mg 2X day | 8/3/2012 |
