Ranitidine "My mother has been sick for years... When I say years... I mean I'm 39. I can remember her not being able to keep food down when I was a teenager. She's had every medical procedure, every treatment you can imagine. She's on medication for other illnesses (antipsychotic meds), but nothing has ever worked for her. Finally, I suggested maybe she can try Zantac... To date, it's been a full month without her throwing up her food! Whatever is in this stuff... We truly believe it's gonna save her life! Thank you."

Ranitidine "The only reason Zantac was taken off the market was because it worked. How are we, the human population, supposed to find something that doesn't have chemicals that may or may not cause cancer? Unfortunately, we are not chemists, so we didn't get their cut from the drug companies who pulled this scare. Shame on all of them."

Ranitidine "I have an intolerance to wheat (not celiac), and with so much wheat in the world, this medication has made it so I can enjoy every kind of cuisine without fear of vomiting it back up within 20-30 minutes! It is a Godsend - thanks."

Ranitidine "I have taken this for about 30 years. The only thing that has contributed to my acid problem, and now I can't get it because the FDA has decided that there is a slight chance it is carcinogenic. Isn't that why it had to be thoroughly tested before approval?"

"Always works for me. My indigestion is periodic depending on factors I haven't been able to pin down, so I don't take the drug before meals, but wait until I'm sure my stomach pain is rising and then take two 75 mg ranitidine, which reduce the pain within 15 minutes and eliminate it entirely within 30 minutes. Antacids don't work for me."

Ranitidine "I am one year post-RNY gastric bypass. I have had severe stomach pain for the last week. My doctor almost hospitalized me due to this pain. He decided to have me take ranitidine 150 mg. I had this pain for nearly a week, about 45 minutes after the first dose, my severe pain was gone. Omeprazole was prescribed by my surgeon, and it didn't help. The ranitidine is a lifesaver."

"I have generalized anxiety disorder, but panic attacks are pretty rare (maybe once per week). However, the three times I took Zantac for indigestion, I experienced a panic attack. I wonder whether there's a connection, as others have reported. This needs to be studied."

Ranitidine "What a despicable amount of packaging for such a tiny bottle. Your brand is successful enough to not need such a waste of earth’s resources to get the customer to notice it on the shelf when we are already looking for it. Please think of the future of our planet."

"I have had diarrhea most days for over twenty years - severe bloating - am obese despite eating 500 calories on average - I do not overeat. I very, very, very rarely eat a large plate of food - I have never eaten 3 meals a day - never added sugar - do not have puddings - do not have fast food, etc. I eat salad - no dressing. A doctor said I had IBS and gave me ranitidine - I took it for about a month - but stopped due to very severe, intense pain under my right ribcage. VERY SCARY!"
