Ranitidine, a competitive antagonist of histamine-2 receptors, is used widely for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and mild to moderate reflux esophagitis. Due to the changing lifestyle with increasing sedentary habits and poor dietary choices, there is an increasing prevalence of increased gastric acid secretion and hence the increased use of antacids including ranitidine.

Amid the safety concerns for the use of ranitidine, a recent study has found the antacid to be safe to use including in children, pregnant women, and the elderly. In the review published in the Journal of Indian Medical Association, the researchers described ranitidine to be well tolerated with rare adverse and serious adverse events related to its use.
