Is There Any Lactose In Ranitidine?

I have allergy to dairy. I ve been prescribed Ranitidine 300 mg. for acid reflux that I don t feel I m experiencing. I ve been told I have a few minor erosions in my throat and stomacch and need it for at least 3 mo. But I seem to have more and softer bowel movements since beginning it. Is there any dairy--lactose, casein ... in this medication?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Tab Ranitidine is a drug used for the treatment of acid peptic disease, it will not have any ingredients of lactose in it.
As you are having acid peptic disease as it is manifested by having erosion in the mucosa you need to take treatment for minimum of 3 months.
along with this you can take antacids which will helps to improve your condition.
Thank You.
