PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Ranitidine tablets are indicated in: 1. Short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer. Most patients heal within 4 weeks. Studies available to date have not assessed the safety of rantidine in uncomplicated duodenal ulcer for periods of more than 8 weeks. 2. Maintenance therapy for duodenal ulcer patients at reduced dosage after healing of acuter ulcers. No placebo-controlled comparative studies have been carried out for periods of longer than 1 year. 3. The treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and systemic mastocytosis). 4. Short-term treatment of active, benign gastric ulcer. Most patients heal within 6 weeks and the usefulness of further treatment has not been demonstrated. Studies available to date have not assessed the safety of ranitidine in uncomplicated, benign gastric ulcer for periods of more than 6 weeks. 5. Maintenance therapy for gastric ulcer patients at reduced dosage after healing of acute ulcers. Placebo-controlled studies have been carried out

Abbreviated New Drug Application
RANITIDINE- RANITIDINE TABLET CONTRACT PHARMACY SERVICES-PA ---------- RANITIDINE TABLETS DESCRIPTION Ranitidine hydrochloride (HCl), USP, is a histamine H 2-receptor antagonist. Chemically it is N[2-[[[5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]- N′-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethene-diamine, HCl. It has the following structural formula: The molecular formula is C 13H22N4O3S•HCl, representing a molecular weight of 350.87. Ranitidine HCl is a white to pale yellow, crystalline substance that is soluble in water. It has a slightly bitter taste and sulfurlike odor. Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 168 mg or 336 mg of ranitidine hydrochloride equivalent to 150 mg or 300 mg of ranitidine, respectively. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, synthetic yellow iron oxide, titanium dioxide and triethyl citrate. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Ranitidine is a competitive, reversible inhibitor of the action of histamine at the histamine H2-receptors, including receptors on the gastric cells. Ranitidine does not lower serum Ca++ in hypercalcemic states. Ranitidine is not an anticholinergic agent. PHARMACOKINETICS : ABS ORPTION: Ranitidine is 50% absorbed after oral administration, compared to an intravenous (IV) injection with mean peak levels of 440 to 545 ng/mL occurring 2 to 3 hours after a 150 mg dose. Absorption is not significantly impaired by the administration of food or antacids. Propantheline slightly delays and increases peak blood levels of ranitidine, probably by delaying gastric emptying and transit time. In one study, simultaneous administration of high-potency antacid (150 mmol) in fasting subjects has been reported to decrease the absorption of ranitidine. DIS TRIBUTION: The volume of distribution is about 1.4 L/kg. Serum protein binding averages 15%. Metabolism: In humans, the N-oxide is the principal metabolite in the urine; howe Lesen Sie das vollständige Dokument
