Can zantac (ranitidine) 150 cause decrease in appetite? took a few times in a week, appetite lower. once stopped it was fine

Not usually: Zantac (ranitidine) does not usually have that side effect, but everyone is different. If you are having less appetite after taking it then I would avoid it and try another medication if you are having heartburn.

Probably not.: Reduced appetite is not a side effect of Zantac (ranitidine). Appetite is controlled by hormones released from your brain some of which are released into your stomach to increase or decrease hunger. Although Zantac (ranitidine) works inside your stomach to reduce stomach acid, it does not change the levels of these hormones, especially with using it just once or twice versus every day.
