How does ranitidine affect bone density and could it contribute to an increased risk of osteoporosis or fractures in long-term users, particularly postmenopausal women or older adults?
Ranitidine, by reducing stomach acid, can hinder calcium absorption, potentially leading to weaker bones and higher fracture risks in long-term users, especially in older adults.
