My doctor prescribe me ranitidine for acid i have gall bladder stone is this safe and what does it really do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ranitidine : Or zantac (ranitidine) is an h2 blocker drug meant to reduced your stomach acidity. It is safe for you to take however i would recommend rid yourself and have the gall bladder removed. You will feel better, acidity may be a thing of the past and you will prevent possible serious complication gall stones can induce!
