    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ranitidine is a selective, competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist.
    • Recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Review the pharmacology, safety profile, and clinical efficacy of ranitidine.
    • Focus on treatment of active duodenal ulcers and gastric hypersecretory conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of approximately 700 publications.
    • Analysis of pharmacological data, safety profiles, and clinical trial results.

    Main Results:

    • Ranitidine is 4-10 times more potent than cimetidine in inhibiting gastric acid secretion.
    • Ranitidine demonstrated equal efficacy and similar tolerability compared to cimetidine in clinical studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Ranitidine is an effective treatment option for duodenal ulcers and gastric hypersecretory conditions.
    • Its pharmacological profile supports its clinical utility and favorable safety.
