Rantac 300 Tablet

Product introduction
Rantac 300 Tablet is a medicine used to lower the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It helps in managing and preventing issues like heartburn, indigestion, stomach ulcers, and reflux-related conditions.

This medication should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor in the prescribed dose and for the recommended duration. The dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated.

Most people tolerate this medicine well, but a few may experience side effects such as headache, mild stomach discomfort, diarrhea, tiredness, or drowsiness. These effects are usually temporary and disappear as your body adapts to the medicine. If the side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor for advice.

Before starting the medication, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems as this may require dose adjustment. Also, inform them about any other medicines you are taking, since Rantac 300 Tablet can interact with other drugs.
