Label Pharmacology
Ranitidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist similar to cimetidine and famotidine. An H2-receptor antagonist, often shortened to H2 antagonist, is a drug used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells in the stomach, decreasing acid production by these cells. These drugs are used in the treatment of dyspepsia, however their use has waned since the advent of the more effective proton pump inhibitors. Like the H1-antihistamines, the H2 antagonists are inverse agonists rather than true receptor antagonists.
Label Absorption
Approximately 50% bioavailability orally.
Label Toxicity
LD50=77mg/kg (orally in mice). Symptoms of overdose include muscular tremors, vomiting, and rapid respiration.
