A member asked:
Could you tell me how long will it take for ranitidine to work, as i cannot swallow thanks....?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
30 minutes or so: But if you can't swallow, this pill will not help you. Besides the fact that if you can't swallow the pill won't go down, difficulty swallowing is a serious concern! you should be seen! (primary md, ent, and or GI physician).
