What can be the cause to have pain in the upper abdomin. only zantc takes it away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulcer: Zantac (ranitidine) reduces acid production in the stomach. Too much acid can lead to ulcers, gastritis, esophagitis. There are other causes of pain but Zantac (ranitidine) would not typically help them.
