Ranitidine

Active Duodenal Ulcer: The current recommended adult oral dosage of Ranitidine Tablets for duodenal ulcer is 150 mg twice daily. An alternative dosage of 300 mg once daily after the evening meal or at bedtime can be used for patients in whom dosing convenience is important. The advantages of one treatment regimen compared with the other in a particular patient population have yet to be demonstrated (see Clinical Trials: Active Duodenal Ulcer ).

General: Symptomatic response to therapy with Ranitidine Tablets does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. Since Ranitidine Tablets are excreted primarily by the kidney, dosage should be adjusted in patients with impaired renal function (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ). Caution should be observed in patients with hepatic dysfunction since Ranitidine Tablets are metabolized in the liver. Rare reports suggest that Ranitidine Tablets may precipitate acute porphyric attacks in patients with acute porphyria. Ranitidine Tablets should therefore be avoided in patients with a history of acute porphyria.
