About Zantac

Zantac is used in the treatment and prevention of ulcers in the digestive tract.[5] It also treats conditions in which acid flows backward from the stomach into the esophagus, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Primary side effects that may be experienced with regular use of Zantac are headache, dizziness, constipation or diarrhea. [6] Using Zantac may also increase the risk of pneumonia or bone fractures in older patients.[7]


A recall was issued for Zantac 75 tablets in May 2008 due to "exceeded impurities specification: (S-oxide)."[8] Zantac 300 mg prescription tablets were recalled in July 2009.[9]
