"This medication works well for me, if I take the prescription strength twice a day, everyday. Unlike many drugs in the same class, Zantac provides relief within thirty minutes to an hour. This, thus far, has worked for me. Please consult your medical provider for a treatment designed for you."

"I get constant heart burn to point that it burns my throat, and esophagus, then pain irradiates to head, ears, and neck. Ranitidine usually works for me within hour."

"This medicine was given me after being diagnosed with hiatial hernia and gastritis. After two tablets of Ranitidine I started to get stomach pain, reflux, gas, dizziness, a headache and slight nausea. I have persevered for three days but not sure I can go on like this. The medicine seems worse than the cure!"
