Ranitidine
CAS#: 66357-35-5
Ranitidine is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It belongs to a class of drugs known as H2 blockers, which work by reducing the amount of stomach acid produced. It is commonly administered orally or intravenously. Note that as of my last update in September 2021, some forms of ranitidine were recalled due to contamination concerns.
