How does ranitidine influence hormone levels and what endocrine-related effects, such as changes in cortisol or thyroid hormones, might arise with prolonged use in sensitive patients?
Ranitidine may modestly increase serum prolactin levels, potentially affecting pituitary hormones like cortisol. However, significant endocrine effects, such as altered thyroid hormones, are rare in patients.
