DESCRIPTION
The active ingredient in Ranitidine Syrup (Ranitidine Oral Solution
USP) is ranitidine
hydrochloride (HCl) USP, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist.
Chemically, it is N[2-[[[5-
[(dimethylamino)methyl]-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'
-methyl-2-nitro-1, 1-
ethenediamine, HCl. It has the following structure:
[Chemical Structure]
The empirical formula is C13H22N4O3S•HCl, representing a molecular
weight of 350.87.
Ranitidine HCl is a white to pale yellow, granular substance that is
soluble in water. It has
a slightly bitter taste and sulfurlike odor.
Each 1 mL of Ranitidine Syrup (Ranitidine Oral Solution USP) contains
16.8 mg of
ranitidine hydrochloride equivalent to 15 mg of ranitidine. Ranitidine
Syrup (Ranitidine
Oral Solution USP) also contains the inactive ingredients dibasic
sodium phosphate,
hydroxyethylcellulose, methylparaben, purified water, sodium chloride,
sodium
saccharin, spearmint flavor, sucrose and may contain monobasic sodium
phosphate.
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
Absorption
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. The oral solution is bioequivalent to the tablets. 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.
Distribution
