| 4 | Gerd | If I go up on dose, I seem to have a little difficulty sleeping | I have been taking this about nine years, 75 mg about an hour or two before dinner. I'm usually sensitive to most drugs but was pleased with little or no side effects. Alcohol still causes problems. A few years ago it began to seem less effective and higher doses for me seemed to affect my sleep so I also raised the head of my bed which helped. Large meals late with challenging foods such as tomatoes and tomato sauce still get me up with reflux. Worth a try. | M | 51 | 9 years 75 mg 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 2 | GERD | Abdominal pain, meteorism | I took the Zantac pill in the evening and I woke up with bad abdominal cramps. The same happened while taking Protonix, Nexium and Pepcid. | M | 35 | 1 days 75mg 1X day | 2/10/2010 | 4 | heartburn | none | F | 66 | 8 months | 3/20/2008 | 1 | sore throat & persistant coughing | taken as suggested by Huntsville emergency doctor caused upset stomach,belching,gas and insomnia | Don't know why doctor thought I needed an antacid with no stomach symptoms | F | 54 | 1 days | 3/12/2008 | 5 | asthma, angioedema | None unless I take it right before bed, which gives me a stomachache. I just make sure to take it about an hour before bed and drink plenty of water. | As an earlier poster said, this is a type of antihistamine. I don't know what I would do without this drug. I used to have severe problems with asthma and angioedema. The zantac has completely stopped all of that. I used to have daily asthma attacks and wake up in the morning with a swollen face and trouble breathing. I suffered for years until an ER doctor told me about some new studies, where they found that acid-reflux medications can help with asthma in certain people. My life is so much better now. | F | 27 | 2 years | 1/10/2008 | 3 | Reflux | Difficulty sleeping, anxiety | M | 46 | 30 days | 5/8/2007 | 3 | hives | No side effects that I can tell. | Doctor says Zantac is a histamine blocker, so I take it for hives. I take it with Allegra as well. My hives are much more under control. Occasionally, if I don't take it with food, then I get a little heartburn, but for the most part, it appears to be doing its job. | M | 41 | 3 months | 3/20/2007 | 1 | Acid reflux | Itchy rash after 5 days | My stomach burned terribly when I took it. When I stopped my stomach symptoms basically dissapeared. | F | 25 | 5 days | 3/5/2006 | 5 | Sour stomach, pain in upper abdomen | Slight headaches, muscle pain mostly in sholders and neck. | Zantac 150 gave me severe headaches, diarea, and muscular pain. You would have thought my Doc would have realized that I needed a smaller dosage.. | M | 59 | 12 days | 10/5/2005 |
