How effective is ranitidine in treating GERD symptoms and are there safer or more effective treatment options available?
Ranitidine can effectively manage mild GERD symptoms, but alternatives like PPIs are generally more effective for severe cases.
While ranitidine is useful for occasional GERD relief, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers like famotidine are often recommended for chronic symptoms.
Ranitidine offers moderate relief for GERD symptoms; however, due to potential NDMA contamination risks, doctors may advise safer alternatives like omeprazole.
