Zantac tablets provide effective, long-lasting relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. If heartburn occurs during a working lunch with colleagues or on a late night with friends, Zantac can help keep your symptoms under control so you can continue to enjoy uninterrupted. Heartburn happens when acid from the stomach rises into the oesophagus (the tube that connects your throat and your stomach). A burning, uncomfortable feeling usually starts around the chest and can quickly move up into the neck and throat. Not only is it painful but it can affect the way you live your life. Zantac works by targeting the acid at its source. It blocks the H2 receptors in the gastric parietal cells, which are the cells in your stomach that make acid. Blocking these receptors reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, so less can acid rise up to burn. Zantac Double Strength is intended for patients who routinely require two 150mg ranitidine tablets for the relief of their symptoms. Ingredients: Each tablet contains 300mg Ranitidine (as hydrochloride). Directions: Adults and children over 12 years: swallow one tablet whole (do not chew) with water as soon as you have symptoms, at any time day or night. Maximum 2 tablets in 24 hours.
