A member asked:

M taking dexilant but might switch to ranitidine daily so wanted to confirm if ranitidine is safe with birth control and magnesium supplements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ranitidine (Zantac): Ranitidine is safe to take with oral bcp's and magnesium supplements. This medication will slow or stop acid production in your stomach lining, and may treat "indigestion" or ulcer like pain. If this does not work well, get your healthcare provider to refer you to a gastroenterologist.
