A duodenal ulcer occurs in the duodenum, which is the tube leading out of the stomach.

ARROW - RANITIDINE Ranitidine hydrochloride tablets NAME OF THE DRUG Ranitidine (as hydrochloride). The chemical name for ranitidine hydrochloride is N-[2-[[[5-[ (dimethylamino)methyl]furan-2-yl]methyl]thio]ethyl]- N´-methyl-2- nitroethene-1,1-diamine hydrochloride. Its structural formula is: C 13 H 22 N 4 O 3 S,HCl Molecular weight: 350.9 CAS No.: 66357-59-3 DESCRIPTION Ranitidine hydrochloride is a white or pale yellow crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste and sulfur-like odour. It is an aminoalkyl substituted furan and is structurally different from cimetidine, lacking the imidazole ring and the cyanoguanidine group. Ranitidine hydrochloride is freely soluble in water and methanol and sparingly soluble in ethanol (96%). Arrow - Ranitidine comes in two strengths and contain either 150 mg or 300 mg of ranitidine (as hydrochloride). The tablets also contain the following excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and Opadry II White YS-22-18096. The tablets are gluten free. PHARMACOLOGY Animal experiments both in vitro and in vivo have established that ranitidine is a selective, competitive antagonist of histamine at H2-receptor sites. Ranitidine has no significant interaction at histamine H1-receptors, muscarinic receptors or beta-adrenoreceptors. Ranitidine is a potent inhibitor of gastric secretion in the rat and dog. All the evidence from human studies is compatible with a selective, competitive antagonism of histamine H2-receptors by ranitidine in humans. Oral or intravenous administration of ranitidine inhibits both basal gastric secretions and gastric acid secretion induced by histamine, pentagastrin and other secretagogues. On a weight basis ranitidine is between four and nine times more potent than cimetidine. Afte Preberite celoten dokument
