A member asked:
When should i stop taking ranitidine and an antihistamine when my hives are gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your doctor: Typically antihistamines including h2 anti- histamines such as ranitidine are gradually tapered off after roughly a week of being hive free. It is best to consult with your prescribing physician first, since every case of hives can be different.
