Drug interactions:  Agree with Dr. Bodenstein. These can be taken together.

will 12.5mg cozaar interact with 20mg cymbalta (duloxetine) and 40 mg betapace?   scared to start cymbalta (duloxetine) due to it maybe dropping bp.  i have high normal bp.

No drug interaction: There is no adverse drug interaction among all three medications you named. Obviously the Betapace (sotalol) and Cozaar can have additive effect on reducing the blood pressure but no adverse interaction.

Question 4

does any stomach medication (zantac/prilosec) interact with sexual stimulants? (viagra (sildenafil) 100mg)

Accepted Answer

No interactions were: Noted btwn Zantac, prilosec and  viagra (sildenafil) using Drugs.Com drug interaction checker. However, that doesn't mean that it can't occur.

Question 5

is 450mg of zantac (ranitidine) bad?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It is higher than the recommended maximum daily dose of 300 mg but it should not present any major issues.

Question 6

how much ranitidine should my 19week 13lb 5 baby be taking ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The dosing is different based on what is being treated. It is most commonly used in that age group to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd.) the dosing is 5-10 mg/kg/day divided into two doses. Your baby weights about 6 kg, so his or her dose would be 15 - 30 mg (or 1-2 ml) twice a day.

Question 7

what is the use of ranitidine in icu ?

Accepted Answer

Lower acid: it lowers stomach acid and can prevent an ulcer. Of course, one would need to know the whole ICU scenario, why the patient is there and what medicines they are on. I just gave you a generic answer.

Question 8

hi, is it ok to take gaviscon while i'm taking ranitidine.?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It is common to use a drug like ranitidine with an antacid like gaviscon. As with most drugs, antacids - especially those with aluminum- can bind certain other drug sand reduce absorption don;t know if you're taking any other meds so i would separate the Gaviscon and other meds by at least 1-2 hours.

Question 9

is zantac (ranitidine) an antihistamine?

Accepted Answer

Yes : There are now 4 types of histamine receptors.  Zantac (ranitidine) acts on the h2 receptor resulting in blocking stomach acid thereby treating heartburn. Allergies are treated with h1 blocking type medications including claritin, (loratadine) zyrtec and allegra.  Some medications have both actions to block both h1 and h2 receptor.  For anaphylaxis, zantac can be added for it's effect on blood vessels.

Question 10

ok to take ranitidine and diphenhydramine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction between these tow meds so you can take them in combination without interaction complications. However, Diphenhydramine can make you quite drowsy, so be careful if driving or using machinery ( i fall asleep just reading the bottle!).
