Introduction to Riqrant-150
Riqrant-150, containing the active ingredient Ranitidine, is a medication primarily used in the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders. Each tablet contains 150 mg of Ranitidine, which is classified as an H2 (histamine-2) receptor antagonist.
Uses of Riqrant-150
Riqrant-150 is used for:
Treatment of Acid-related Disorders: It is effective in reducing the production of stomach acid, making it valuable in treating conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and heartburn.
Prevention of Acid-related Disorders: Riqrant-150 can also be used to prevent these conditions from recurring, especially in cases where there is a risk of acid reflux or ulcer formation.
Benefits of Riqrant-150
Acid Reduction: Ranitidine blocks the action of histamine on stomach cells, thereby reducing acid production and acidity levels in the stomach.
Symptomatic Relief: It provides relief from symptoms such as heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.
Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of Riqrant-150 can last for several hours, providing sustained relief from acid-related discomfort.
Mechanism of Action of Riqrant-150
Ranitidine works by selectively blocking H2 receptors on the stomach lining. This inhibition reduces the secretion of gastric acid stimulated by histamine, leading to decreased acid production and relief of symptoms associated with excessive acidity.
