A member asked:
I had a allergic reaction to ciprofloxacin and the er doctor prescribed me zantac (ranitidine) for the allergic reaction is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Zantac (ranitidine) (a H2 reverse agonist) does nothing by itself to control allergic reactions although it may at times be helpful when used together with a classical antihistamine particularly for itchy hives.
