Ranitidine Injection

 
 
 
 
Ranitidine Injection 50 mg contains active substance Ranitidine a one of a group of medicines called H2-antagonists that reduces the amount of excess acid made by your stomach. It is used in people who are hospitalized to treat certain conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid. Ranitidine 50 mg injection is also used to treat ulcers (sores in the lining of the stomach or intestine) which did not get cured with other medications. This medicine should relieve indigestion and heartburn within a few hours. Ranitidine injection is used in some hospitalized patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions or intractable duodenal ulcers, or as an alternative to the oral dosage form for short-term use in patients who are unable to take oral medication. It is given in cases where oral administration is not possible.

Indications
Indicated for the treatment of duodenal ulcer, benign gastric ulcer, post - operative ulcer, and of Zollinger - Ellison Syndrome. (In the management of conditions where reduction of gastric secretion and acid output is desirable, such as reflux esophagitis).

Medicinal Benefits
In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth. Ranitidine injection reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux.

In Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease
Stomach ulcers are usually caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or Helicobacter pylori bacteria. They both break down the stomach's defense against the acid it produces to digest food. This damages the stomach and allows an ulcer to form. Ranitidine injection may be used to treat these ulcers. It reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes, preventing further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally

Mechanism of action
  Ranitidine hydrochloride is a competitive, reversible inhibitor of the action of histamine at the histamine H2-receptors, including receptors on the gastric cells. Ranitidine hydrochloride does not lower serum Ca++ in hypercalcemic states. This reduces the amount of acid in the stomach. The drug starts to work in as little as 30 minutes. It can control acid production for up to 12 hours and reduce the frequency and severity of heartburn
