A member asked:
Zantac (ranitidine) caused me shortness of breath after a few days. will omeprazole do the same?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: Zantac (ranitidine) is an h2 blocker and Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. They are very different chemically and have very different mechanisms of action. The likelihood of this same side effect is very low.

You sure ?: I don't think zantac (ranitidine) caused shortness of breath -- there might be other reason.
