Hello,
Ranitidine does not cause nosebleeds as a side effect. The symptoms can be related to broken vessels in the nose. I suggest to use a saline nasal spray to relieve the bleeding. I also suggest to use a humidifier at home and drink liquids.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
