No placebo-controlled comparative studies have been carried out for periods of longer than 1 year. - The treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and systemic mastocytosis). - 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. - Maintenance therapy for gastric ulcer patients at reduced dosage after healing of acute ulcers. Placebo-controlled studies have been carried out for 1 year. -

Abbreviated New Drug Application
RANITIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE- RANITIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE CAPSULE AVKARE, INC ---------- RANITIDINE CAPSULES RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Ranitidine hydrochloride (HCl), is a histamine H -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: The empirical formula is C H N O S • HCl, representing a molecular weight of 350.87. Ranitidine HCl is a white to pale yellow, crystalline practically odorless powder. It is very soluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol. Each capsule, for oral administration contains 168 mg or 336 mg of ranitidine hydrochloride equivalent to 150 mg and 300 mg of ranitidine, respectively. Inactive ingredients: magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate. The capsule shell contains FD&C blue 1, FD&C red 40, FD&C yellow 6, gelatin, titanium dioxide and sodium lauryl sulfate. The capsule shells are imprinted with edible ink black containing black iron oxide, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, shellac and strong ammonia solution. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Ranitidine is a competitive, reversible inhibitor of the action of histamine at the histamine H - receptors, including receptors on the gastric cells. Ranitidine does not lower serum Ca in hypercalcemic states. Ranitidine is not a anticholinergic agent. PHARMACOKINETICS Absorption Ranitidine capsules are 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. Distribution The volume of distribution is about 1.4 L/kg. Preberite celoten dokument
