Drug Uses
Zantac is prescribed to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines, heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Zantac also treats conditions associated with the stomach producing too much acid, e.g. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and systemic mastocytosis. Zantac is prescribed by doctors to treat other medical conditions.
Zantac helps prevent the recurrence of ulcers.
More Information
Zantac is used as a short-term treatment (4-8 weeks) for active duodenal ulcers and active benign gastric ulcers. A low dose of Zantac is used as maintenance therapy of healed gastric and duodenal ulcers as well as erosive esophagitis.
Some doctors prescribe Zantac to prevent damage to the stomach after the long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Dosage
Zantac comes in the form of oral tablets, granules and effervescent tablets, as well as a syrup formula. Always use Zantac exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Never increase or decrease the dosage without your doctor’s permission.
The usual dose for ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and pathological hypersecretory conditions is 150mg twice a day.
The usual dose for erosive esophagitis is 150mg four times a day.
To help prevent conditions from recurring the usual dose is 150m once or twice a day.
Zantac granules and effervescent tablets must be dissolved in 6-8 ounces of water.
