Ranitidine Forums

While I was pregnant I was prescribed to take ranitidine for heartburn. After my child was born I took a urine test that came up negative. Cps sent these sample off and said I tested positive for meth. I submitted to a hair test on my child and a nail test on myself. The results were positive for meth. The Metabolites were very low in both of us but the amphetimine levels were high, but I had ephedrine during the c section. Will ranitidine cause a false positive in a hair test and where is the documented proof? They have taken my newborn away from me its five days now without touching or seeing her. I am desperate to get my baby back. If a doctor responds please be willing to submit documentation in writing. Thank you to anyone with the answer. ## This is terrible!!! And yes zantac does...

Hi. My daughter has dental surgery tomorrow and her Dr now says she needs to take Pepcid ac or similar "acid blocker" the night before. This surgery was scheduled with no warning. Now with blizzard its dangerous to go out. We have ranitidine 150 mg exp Jan 2012, its now Feb 2014. Is it still effective? Should she take two (300 mg)? There's no way to get fresh OTC meds. We have TUMS that is still good. Thanks! ## I accidentally or say foolishly gave my 3 yr old daughter expired ranitidine syrup as 3 does of 4 ml each. She is having severe stomach pain n bloody mucusy stool from before and I think it worsened it. What to do? Is it severe?

I need to know if this generic for this pill is troposphere if I am taking the right medication. ## Hello, Carolyn! How are you? No, the generic is exactly what you stated, Ranitidine, the name brand for it is Zantac. It is an antacid. I could not find anything listed under the name Troposphere. Can you please double check the name and spelling? Thank you! ## I’ve been taking Acidil which is an all natural drug for heartburn, bloating, upset stomach & acid indigestion. It may not be as good as those others but it does help with no interactions. Manufacturer name is Boiron.

Is ranitidine still safe to take after the expiration/discard date? Mine is 10/10/12. ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Most medications, such as Ranitidine, don't get dangerous when expired, but they do begin to lose efficacy after that point. Thus, the older they are, the less they are going to work. Learn more Ranitidine details here. It would really be best to just dispose of the expired and purchase new. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## I was on omeprazole for about 2 and a half years, and on Rapeprazole for 10 years for acid reflux.

Is Ranitidine 15mg/ml (75mg/5ml) syrup manufactured by Silarx gluten free? I have celiac disease and am allergic to gluten, but can't find any information online about it. ## First off, every SINGLE person I've ever met who claimed to suffer from celiacs was full of crap. The ACTUAL incidence of this disease is so minute it's almost impossible to know two people organically who DO have it. Furthermore it's certainly so rare that there's no reason a store could make.enough money to offer an entire gluten free section. People need a hobby I guess. ## Maybe you should actually do some research on celiac disease. My 6 year old daughter was just diagnosed with BLOOD WORK and ENDOSCOPIC BIOPSIES by a medical doctor (not a keyboard doctor such as yourself). There is also a ...
