A member asked:
150mg ranitidine stopped working (protecting against 800mg ibu daily). stopped taking it, how long before it may work again?

Need stronger med.: Truth be told, you may need a stronger medication. The histamine-blockers, like Ranitidine, may not be potent enough to counteract the effects of an NSAID like Ibuprofen. You may be better served with a PPI, like Prevacid or Protonix.
