A member asked:

I had an inflammation to my stomach & i was prescribed to zantac (ranitidine) 150. my stomach stopped hurting, but i still take zantac (ranitidine) twice a day. can i overdose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but..: You can, but not at the dose you're using. These meds are considered pretty safe which is why you see them over the counter. Be sure to keep your follow up with your doctor as instructed!
