| 1 | GERD | Muscular pain, anxiety, changes in blood pressure, bowel irregularity | I think over time my liver could not process the drug fast enough. I could not figure what was making me feel so poorly. I decided to stop the drug and treat my gerd some other way. I have to tell you; I feel great for the first time in a long time. | M | 54 | 2 years | 12/19/2007 | 2 | doctor prescribed for pre-ulcer | Incredibly sore breasts. Just awful. The website mentions "gynomastia" as a side-effect in men, but nothing for women. I also got a one-day period (the bleeding stopped when I stopped taking the medicine) even though I'm in the middle of menopause and haven't had a period in 4 months. Also very lightheaded and somewhat dizzy. | Ick. | F | 49 | 5 days | 6/17/2007 | 3 | chronic hives | severe heartburn and unexplained headaches. | In addition to the Zantac 300 mg a day, I have also been taking Allegra 180. Never had heartburn or headache problems prior to taking Zantac. The heartburn only comes at night after I take the Zantac. The headaches very throughout the day. | F | 23 | 3 months | 2/22/2007 | 2 | heartburn acid reflux | LIKE ALL THESE MEDICATIONS ZANTAC RANIDYNE GENERIC BRAND AT 150MG IS FOR SHORT TERM USE ONLY !

THE LESS YOU TAKE IT THE BETTER FOR YOU... | M | 45 | 4 years | 2/16/2007 | 3 | LPRD | Headaches | Worked very well in relieving sore throat related to LPRD but I can't take the headache side effect so I'm trying a smaller dose. | M | 50 | 2 months | 10/2/2006 | 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 | 3 | acid reflux disease | Nausea, depression, bowel movements all day, a lot of gas, had trouble urinating a couple of times. thought it might have been my condition but these all went away the day i stopped taking it and switched to prevacid. | It did stop a very serious acid reflux problem i had which pepcid ac and aciphex did nothing for. the 75's will show less side effects and prove effective also. i got no heartburn or acid indigestion with this drug so it did it's job. it only prevents the problem though it doesnt heal it. i still recommened even though the side effects are plenty. no itching either which is a problem i had with the proton pump inhibitors. | M | 21 | 21 days | 11/18/2005 | 4 | reflux | gas | good product. helped my stomach a lot. Less burning pain, but more gas. | M | 16 | 4 months | 10/27/2005 | 5 | Acid Reflux | None | I swear by this drug. It is the only thing that works for me. I have tried all the others but none have worked as well. | M | 31 | 10 years | 10/15/2005 | 3 | Ulcers | None | Zantac didn't work. Tagamet is more effective. | 2 weeks | 11/26/2004 | 3 | reflux | F | 44 | | 11/22/2004 | 4 | stomach pain...acid reflux | none | F | 45 | 3 months | 11/15/2004 | 5 | shunt/stomac problems | none | F | 28 | | 7/8/2004 | 4 | M | 20 | 3 months | 4/4/2001 |
